imageCLASS MF462dw light print

I have a ImageCLASS MF462dw that prints very light. I can remove the cartridge and shake it and it will print normal for about 3-5 pages and gets lighter with every print. Remove it and shake it again, prints good for 3-5 pages again. I have tried new cartridges and cartridges that work well in another printer. I can take the cartridge from this printer and put it on another printer and it will work fine. I am using Genuine Canon cartridges and have only used Genuine Canon cartridges in it.

Greetings,

I would take a look at performing maintenance and making gradation adjustments.

Start out slow/gradually. Less is more.

I have adjusted the printer density all the way up to 4. Still has same issue. Can pull the cartridge out and shake it and it will print fine for a little while.
