I have just collected a second hand HP 1600 printer and there is a 2cm green vertical line down the left side of the page and a 3mm line down the centre and 2 thin lines down the right side, help!
Hi,
Dots, Lines
and smudges on the printouts are due to deteriorating cartridges and
cleaning the green drum of the cartridge may help temporarily. Take out
the cartridge and gently clean the roller/ green drum with a dry, soft,
lint-free cloth wiping off the toner dots marks/ lines. (corresponding to the location where you are having a green line on the paper)
Also,
make sure that the visible inside of the printer and the Black belt are clean and there is
no spilled toner inside, which sometimes results in dots.
Moreover,
streaks
(thicker lines) and dots etc indicate faulty PCR Roller which is located
behind the
green drum inside the cartridge. Replace the Cartridge or get
the PCR Roller changed by a professional.
Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!
