Faint Black Lines (by 4 users)

posted by jhus77 on Jan 24, 2008

We have prints that have faint black lines (vertical) on the left edge of the paper. The lines go the full length of the paper and are approx. 1.5 inches wide. Is it the black photoconductor unit? Before I spend $$, I would like to be sure.

Thanks

JH

We are having the same trouble and we just got ours about five months ago. Quite ridiculous if you ask me. It's in a climate controlled room - our computer lab in the school.

Also have faint black lines on left side of page. We've replaced the photoconductor unit once before in July 07. We purchased the printer in Feb 07. The problem started again in Feb 08. We were told humidity and/or temperature changes cause these lines. We really don't want to buy a new unit. Is there a way to clean it?

Same problem, but it appears to be all colors. And only on the left side.

Hi best way to check is to remove the black photoconductor and you should be able to see the little lines on it also check the the black dev/toner unit for the lines. most likely to be the black photoconductor unit though.

Thanks J

Did you re-fill the black toner cartridge with genuine Ricoh toner or from somewhere else? It might be the wrong granularity.
