Horizontal streaks on pages
posted by jkounts on Dec 03, 2007
I'm using a GCC 12/1200 laser printer, and its printed output always has three gray horizontal streaks, each one about one-fourth of an inch wide, across the top, middle and bottom of each printed page. Can I fix this (how?) or do I need help from a technician? Thanks.

This is a very clear and helpful solution, even though it probably would cost more to do it than the printer is worth! (It's about 7 or 8 years old.) Thanks very much for the help.

ApprenticeStreaks at 2.82 inch intervals: Horizontal marks at this interval are the result of a mark on the
fusing roller of the printer. In some cases, these marks can be cleared
up by running a cleaning page through the unit. Laser Printer Cleaning
sheets can be purchased at your local printer/office supply store. If
the marks persist, this can indicate a more serious problem with the
fusing roller that would require service attention.
Streaks at 3.74 inch intervals: Horizontal marks at this interval are the result of a mark on the image drum of the printer. There is no way to repair a damaged photosensitive image drum, so in the case that it is scratched or otherwise damaged, the entire CRU (toner/drum cartridge) would require replacement to clear up these marks.
