Question about Sharp (SHRAM900) All-In-One Laser Printer

1 Answer

Sharp AM-900 I have had this for about a couple of years. Now when I make a photocopy, there is a vertical straight line down the middle of the paper that comes out on all my photocopies. Any suggestions?

    It is a straight fine line, not streaked, almost like someone traced a vertical line with a ruler. If I print from the computer or the glass it is fine. The problem is copying from the feeder slot.

    My cartridge dried up and the powdered ink got on a wheel or something because I have streak lines down the right side of the paper. I blow it out with an air hose, installed a new cartridge but the streak lines are still there. Also the lines aren't getting any lighter which you would think they should.

It is either in the path of the scanning like the platen glass or if it is a MFP check the little glass strip on top of the glass thats where auto doc feeder scan from, or the imaging drum/toner is bad, or the transfer belt is bad or worn and there could always be a roller causing the marks, or the fuser itself can be bad. there are just too many things that can cause that. is it streaks with no print or is it printed then scrated like streaks?

    the optics in the scanner for the auto document feeder is burned out. It can also be just that the optics need cleaning. When you put the paper in the feeder it goes through the machine and is scanned by a little strip of glass not the actual whole glass. it passes through a smaller scanner or just a scanner that stays still while the paper goes by it. If you are technical you can do it youreself but if not i suggest finding a technician and telling him of this problem. If you do feel like cleaning the optics it is just like cleaning a camera lens and you need to use something meant to clean platen glass. You can also use a can of air to clean out the optics of any dirt.

Copy problems with xerox fx docuprint c3290

Hi you can have a few problems. 1: try cleaning the glass on the scanner. 2. If you have auto document feeder there may be paper or dirt on the lens that the paper passes over. Clean the long lens. 3 if you clean the glass and lens and still have the problem you will most likely need to have it serviced as there may be paper stuck in the drums that the paper passes through. Paper follows a different path when copied versus a straight print. Try to see what path the copy paper is taking and clean it as best as possible. Last trick is to take out toner cartridges and wipe them clean. Shake them forward to back and reinsert. You may have a worn out roller and if this is the case it is usually cheaper to just buy a new printer.

Vertical lines slanted on photocopier

Is it the same result when you place the original on the glass as when you use the Automatic feeder? If copy is straight when you use the glass, then the rollers on the feeder need cleaning (with a damp cloth) -Lift the cover where paper feeds and clean grey rollers,also, and more importantly, clean the darker roller which has a plastic white roller pressed to it with a heavy spring assembly.
If copies are slanted either way you make a copy, make sure to check the paper guides in the tray are snug

You need to be more specific with your diagnosis.

1- are they black or white lines?
2- does it happen when you put the paper in the feeder ( on top)?
3- what about if you put it directly on the glass?
4- do faxes come out OK?
