In this situation, you can try removing all of the toner cartridges and inspect the inside of any for any loose toner powder that can be wiped up with a damp cloth. You can also inspect the toner cartridges to make sure they are not leaking/damaged. Once you reload the toner, you can perform an ITB and fixing unit cleaning using the steps in the link <A href="https://oip.manual.canon/USRMA-0309-zz-SS-enUV/contents/SS8580_maintenance272_cleaningthemachine.html" target="_self">HERE</A>.</P> Wed, 26 Nov 2025 15:41:23 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Office-Printers/MF8280Cw-printer-is-leaving-smudges-on-the-edges-of-paper/m-p/576726#M30190 Hector 2025-11-26T15:41:23Z
