Problem With Pc170
My copier was making copies with streaks and it looked like the toner was smudging the image.So I replaced the cartridge. Now the copies are almost black on the auto setting.When I adjust the contrast slider it does not pick up pen or pencil . I never had this problem before and have had the copier 2 years.
