Light Stripe Problem

We are having a problem with light stripes down the middle of documents. Despite running the light stripes cleaning, remapping jets umpteen times, it still continues. The problem seems to be in the blank and yellow jets 159. Has anyone encountered this and how did you fix it?

    Thank you for the suggestion but we have done that. It is probably the print head.

  3. Press the [Up] or [Down] arrow button to select [Eliminate Light Stripes], and then press the [OK] button.

    If that does not work. Most likely you have a defective print head.

Black stripe running down left side of paper when
Open the top of the fax where your documents go in. There will be a thin **** of glass where the document is read. On the end that reads "dirty" is a smudge or some white-out that needs to be cleaned. You may have to clean it with some cloth wrapped on a flat tool. Do not scrap or scratch anything, just clean enough to get the dirt off. Then make a test copy.

This fault is most likely caused by the plasma panel itself, which would be prohibitively to replace. I suggest contacting Panasonic service and tell them about your problem. I have known Panasonic to be very good in the past, often still helping out even when the item is out of warranty.

Broad light stripe down whole scan
Have you tried to do a cleaning of the color heads. Use a cotton swab, the same kind you use to clean your ears with rubbing alchy on it an clean the heads of the color injectors. If this dose not correct the problem then try changing out cartrages. IE if it is a grey stripe change out your black ink. If it is a pink stripe change out the color ink.
