Re: Copies are coming out in various shades of black -...
Most common cause is a dirty corona wire and or drum. If after cleaning the corona wire and drum the copies are still mostly black and smeared, the drum may be broken. Best of luck.

Do you mean when the print comes out the toner smears on the paper when you touch it? If so, then it's the fuser that isn't working properly.
However, if you mean when the print comes out there is smeared toner in various places on your print, but the smears are fixed to the paper, then the cause is more complicated and could be caused by a number of different problems within the printer.
it may be the toner collection unit is full. this can cause the toner smears. supply of the toner/?? difficult depending where you are. try your local stationers and or local panasonic dealer
Hello sir; Try to make a copy with cover open, then you can see the lamp is on or not, if not then check the thermos fuse at the ned of exposure lamp or exposure lamp, otherwise you ha go to check the drum blade isn't under good condition if everythingare good final you have to replace developer.
you may have to clean the print head. since the jam cause the smear, and there still have some ink left on the print head.
you wouldn't get aclean copy till all of the ink trace are gone.
If the lines look like little steps, maybe broken is segments off by about the thickness of a pencil line, try this. Most likely it's the scanner. You can try calabrating it by doing the following. press in order. Menu #1934. You will see a T pop up to the right side of "Ready to Copy". Then press machine status, then scroll until you find maintenance. May be under system settings. When you find maintenance, press enter, then scroll to Shading Adjustment. Or depending on software version, Adjust shading. Place 5 sheets of paper on the glass,, press enter, then when is says "Adjust Shading?" press enter again. Let it print out the sheet. Then try a copy. If that doesn't help, the scanner itself will probably need replacing.
The scanner is the issue. The segments of what is called the CCD are not working properly.
Once you adjust shading, if that doesn't work, the scanner will need to be replaced.
Sounds like the drum is worn out. Usually do 60-70K before replacement. Shading more noticeable at top of copy. Could also before worn upper fuser roller.
