Extra marks on printed pages

Our laserjet 4350n prints with visible shadows of letters on the pages, they seem to be in line with the rollers. How do we fix this issue?
Thank you.

1.try stopping the printer halfway thru a print cycle
if you can stop a paper under the print cartridge and before the fuser you can check for print defects on the page before the toner is melted into the paper.

if no defects are found then your fuser may be defective,usually the upper fusers film sleeve tears -testing this way can save you from trying a new cartridge$$$

Typical of this machine. You have worn out feed rollers in tray 2. There are three of them, two in the top of the machine after removing the tray and one in the tray itself

HP LaserJet 4Plus - just changed the fuser and rollers - was getting smudges and shadow on the printer paper. Now getting (on the left 1/4th of the page) light areas with little or no print. The shadow...

Take the toner cartridge out of the printer. Shake it side to side. Reinstall it and print something.
See if that fixes the output.
Could also be the transfer roller.

I have an hp2430, it is pringinting shadows along the left edge of the papers and a line along the right side. I have printed a cleaning page 3 times and replaced the cartridge, running the cleaning page...

the line could be caused by a scratched DRUM unit or a contaminated trasfer roller... And the shadow is probably a broken MICA ROLLER in the FUSER,

To get rid of the line (if the drum is OK) you need a mantenance KIT for that model, (pickup roller, transfer roller, separating pads etc...), for the shadow you need a new FUSER

Cheers!

I have a Lexmark E232 laser printer. I have just had a faint unwanted mark on my print-out which repeats itself on each page printed. I found a horizontal streak across the green photoconducter. Can this...

All laserjet printers and laserject function on the same basic principles and unwanted marks, streaks, line etc, which are repeated in a pattern are mostly due to the deterioration of the cartridge parts(photoconductor and PCR roller mainly). The problem can be fixed by correctly identifying the faulty part and replacing it. This saves the cost of buying a new toner. However, sometimes cleaning the visible inside of the printer and cartridge roller greatly helps, which can be easily done using dry lint-free cloth and gently cleaning the photoconductor etc. Good Luck!

Hope it Helps!

HP Laserjet 5P shading edges of page

This is probably due to a defective cartridge, Charge Roller or Transfer roller.

Check the cartridge for a band of toner still on the drum.

Check the Charge roller for oil or smudges, this roller should be a lighter color and should be relatively free of toner or marks.

Same as the Transfer Roll, which will be dark, though excess toner should be evident.

A relatively smooth straight line is generally the cartridge.

A rather wavey or broken line is most likely the rollers.

You can however attempt to print a large amount of pages (25-50) in an attempt to clean the parts, however if either part is defective they will need to be replaced and no manner of printing will clean them.

HP laserjet 2430 dtn little typed letters print on the left side

Probably a bad FUSER. The teflon is probably worn off.

Also take out the toner and move the drum cover aside to look at the drum..It should be clean.
