I just got a used 5M from a collegue. When I print a page I see ghost images of the print on the same page. Is there something I should clean to get rid of these images?

Double imaging on these printers is almost alsways caused by the toner or the fuser.To check,do a half-self test.Run a print(I use the test page) and stop the printer before it enters the fuser(use MP tray and open top cover just before the end of the paper enters the printer).Look at the print and see if the error shows up.If it does,then you need a new toner cartridge.If it doesn't,you need a fuser.
