Xerox Tektronic 850-Color pictures are coming out smeared 1

[hausman]

When printing color pictures the prints are coming out with smears of various widths and lengths. This just started happening. What do you think may be causing it?

1. Check & clean the rapid release guide
2. Check & clean the maintenance drawer wiper blade
3. If smears come back after a few prints, check maintenance kit life and possibly maintenance drawer lift pins (probably worn out, fix with cable tie or order new tray)
4. And (of course) try the internal cleaning procedures.

Pictures and stuff on how to do this all can be found on the above link.
