An 1118 process unit has a 100k life @5% average coverage in my experience the usually last about 85k when the waste toner is full it's generally near the end of life of the unit the fact that you're getting black marks in the pages says to me that there is drum decay which is also a signs of the process unit life nearing its end
you must have remove the white mylar sheet from the catridge when
loading it...if yes! you got to find back the white mylar (plastic
sheet) that slot in between the drum and charger roller placed it back (
the position must be accurate) then slot in back the catridge.The white
mylar sheet is to reset the drum life counter
Open the front panel.Press and hold the clear button.When "Drum replaced"shows on the lcd panel select yes.The message will be reset.If you experiece any lines in the future you will have to replace the drum catridge.
Sounds like a paper clip (or similar) has fallen into the machine and is next to the drum.
Remove the drum unit and see if anything is in the machine or on the drum unit.
Replace the drum if it is close to the end of its life.
If you see black lines on the drum, it is very likely that the drum unit is bad. Replace the drum unit and rest the drum counter. If you wait too long, you will cause toner build up in the fuser and will cost yourself several hundred dollars to get it replaced. More in labor than parts.
Use a soft cotton or very soft paper towel and wipe the excess toner from the drun. If there are lines worn in the surface of the drum, then replace it ASAP.
