Depending on the age of the model, it could be a couple of things. ***Never touch the drum or expose it to bright light*** The drum unit is bad. It's the shiny brightly-colored large roller in the center of the machine. On most recent smaller machines like this on it's integrated into the toner cartridge. Check it out. If it has toner build up on the ends, it's bad. or The corona wires need cleaning. Some machines have a small slide that moves from one side of the printer to the other which cleans the hidden corona wires. It's usually brightly colored. The corona wires are also integrated into the toner cartridge in many smaller machines
SOURCE: How do I clean or replace the drum on a Ricoh
The drum unit on these models is a complete replacement unit. the drum can only be cleaned by removing the unit and then there are some screws to be taken out. two on the back plat and two on the front. if you take these cover plates of the unit will split and you can remove the drum(Blue roller) and under neath there is a charge roller as well that can be cleaned.. only use water on the black cahrge roller and gently rub with a cloth till clean. The drum with a very soft cloth and some liquid brasso may clean it up or get rid of the scratch lines but if they are too worn the drum needs replacing. you can clean the scanner glass and the mirrors underneath here as well.B0392201 is the part number for the Drum unit which comes as a complete unit. you may need to purchase the developer for the drum init as well B0399640 is the part number for this. hope this helps >>>A
