Printers and Scanners: Damp Paper symptoms

What symptoms could result from using damp paper in a laser printer? (Select FOUR.)
1. >>Poor quality output
2. Fuzzy print
3. >>Unfused toner on the printed page
4. White streaks through the text
5. >>Multiple page feed >
6. >>Paper jams
7. Gray print

Explanation : Damp paper can cause paper jams, fuzzy print, poor output quality, and multiple page feed. Paper jams can occur due to damp paper because the paper needs to slide smoothly through the paper handling elements. Damp pages may also stick together, allowing more than one sheet to go through the printer (multiple page feed). This will cause blank pages to appear between printed pages. Fuzzy and poor quality output will occur because the water in the paper will interfere with the transfer of the toner.

A dirty developer unit or a partially empty toner cartridge can cause white lines.

Loose toner on the printed page is the result of the fuser not heating to the proper temperature.

When the photoreceptor drum wears, it holds less of a charge and attracts less toner, which in turn causes lighter (gray) print.
