When we recieve faxes they have black lines running down the entire length of the page. I have already changed cartridges and am wondering if there is something that needs cleaned? What can I do?

You have to determine if your FAX is the problem or the sending FAX has the problem. The first thing to do is make a copy or print a report. If it comes out clean you FAX is NOT the one with the problem. The sender has to get their optics cleaned.

On the other hand, if it's still "streaky" then your fax has a problem. First off remove the cartridge and look inside it, if you see toner get a can of compressed air (sold in office supply stores to clean keyboards) and blow out as much as you can. I suggest taking the machine outside the toner dust can make quit a mess. Make a few copies (5 - 10) to check it out. Each copy should come out with less misplaced toner.

SENDING FAX COMING BACK BLANK PAGES .NOT PRINTING ATALL.

If you attempt to print any kind of report from your unit and the pages are still blank there are two posibilities.
#1 The toner cartridge tape was never pulled out correctly/ the toner cartridge might be defective.
#2 A more serious cause fo the same symtom might be a defective hi voltage section in the unit. On a newer product this is not very likely

When receiving a fax I get either big black plotches all over the page or thick black vertical lines running the whole length of the page to a point where I can no longer make out any of the information...

Try making a copy of something or printing a transmission report or journal from the "reports" menu. If the same problem is apparent on these printouts, then your drum unit or toner cartridge need to be replaced

Right side of printed page is faded

pull out your drum unit and look inside machine above where the drum would be. you should see a black assembly that runs left to right with a "****" glass. may need a flashlight. clean that glass off with a clean rag. sometimes toner "scatter" will get on glass and cause this.

let us know,

New HP CM2320fxi printing solid black pages

The Black Toner it came with was faulty, apparently a known issue with HP - though HP Support in the UK has asked more about the computer software though the printing was with photocopying, internal reports etc.

Copies and faxes come out with 5 inch black area over whole page

Does this same thing happen if you just print a report out of it?

Here's the logic behind this.

If it happens on scanning or copying, but not on printing that's a problem with the scanning section.

If it happens on everything (scanning, printing etc) that's a problem with in the printer controls.

Usually on lasers, if it's printing related, the first thing to do is change the toner.
If the imaging drum (which is part of the toner cartridge) is damaged, it will leave lines down the page.
This is a fairly common problem on refilled toners.

If you have changed the toner, and it still does it, it's a different problem.

Black pages when making a copy or printing something

Have you tried both drum and toner supplies? cause it sounds like a drum fault, if you have tried a new drum and toner, and it is doing it when printing internal reports, receiving fax's and copying then you have a tecnical issue to do with charge and this would likely render machine unecomical to repair (unless you can find a bad contact with drum on machine). If it receives faxs clearly but copys black then it is different issue (ie optics).

Copied pages are all black

Is is a lower end product for light duty use. You can try a new genuine OEM drum and or toner, but buying them both would cost as much as a new 2800. Can you print a internal report OK?If so, then your scanner is defective. A common problem with 2800,s

Samsung LaserJet prints completely black pages

We had the same problem with our SCX but we replaced the Part #: SCX-4521D3 toner/drum and it worked fine after that. We replaced the starter cartridge with a 3000 print capacity cartridge.
