imageCLASS MF8350Cdn - blurry on first sheet

[girbean]

 My 11 year old MF8350Cdn printer has suddenly started printing the page first blurry, both colors and text.    Subsequent pages print just fine.  I have performed all of the manual recommended troubleshooting procedures but has not solved the issue.  Really hate to junk it.  any ideas are appreciated .  Thanks

I have one of these machines.Had forgotten how old it is, maybe older than yours. I'm amazed it is still going strong.

Can you post an image of what "blurry" looks like on it? Is it directional, like toner is smearing in direction of sheet travel? Or all around image elements?

I wonder if your fuser is not heated up for the first sheet.

Is your printer on all the time or do you turn it off when not using it? I never turn mine off. It keeps it lightly warmed-up.
