Causes and solutions for the bottom ash when printing or copying

Copiers are indispensable equipment in modern offices, but during use, we often encounter a headache, that is, the bottom ash generated 

when copying documents. Bottom ash not only affects 

the printing effect, but also brings great trouble to cleaning work. This article will analyze the reasons why copiers generate bottom ash and 

provide some solutions to help users solve this problem.

1. Cause Too much toner

-Using toner exceeding the upper limit of capacity will cause toner overflow, which will then produce bottom ash

-Solution: Pay attention to the amount of toner used, and replace and clean the toner cartridge in time.

2. Cause Toner residue

-Toner will adhere to the copier parts during copying and gradually form bottom ash

-Solution: Clean the inside of the copier regularly, especially the toner container and photosensitive drum.

3. Cause Poor paper quality

-Using poor quality paper is prone to produce debris and fiber residue, leading to bottom ash problems

-Solution: Choose high-quality paper and pay attention to regularly cleaning the copier paper path and paper box

4. Cause: Aging of the photosensitive drum

- Long-term use of the photosensitive drum will cause surface wear, resulting in uneven adhesion of toner, thus generating bottom ash

- Solution: Replace the photosensitive drum regularly to avoid using old drums.

5. Cause: Static electricity

- Static electricity easily absorbs dust and fibers in the air, thus forming bottom ash

- Solution: Keep the humidity of the environment around the copier appropriate and use antistatic paper.

6. Cause: Roller contamination

- Copier roller contamination will cause uneven toner transmission, thus generating bottom ash

- Solution: Clean the copier roller regularly to avoid contamination caused by long-term uncleaning.

7. Cause: Shifting during printing

- Shifting during printing will cause toner to be deposited in places where it should not be deposited, generating bottom ash

- Solution: Check the print alignment of the copier to avoid shifting problems.
