Black stripe down one side of every fax

If the stripe is a thin line, the scanner glass is dirty, if it is wide stripe you have a bad scanner block. EXPENSIVE

Open the top of the fax where your documents go in. There will be a thin **** of glass where the document is read. On the end that reads "dirty" is a smudge or some white-out that needs to be cleaned. You may have to clean it with some cloth wrapped on a flat tool. Do not scrap or scratch anything, just clean enough to get the dirt off. Then make a test copy.

Open the front of the fax machine. Then pull down the the tray that has the down arrow imprinted on it. Locate the glass strip towards the back, just behind the center roller. Use a cloth and rubbing alcohol to clean the glass and that should remove the black line.

i'm not sure if you're talking about a solid black band or a bunch of little stripes running down page. does it happen when you run an internal report or only on copies? if its a black solid band, check and make sure the bluish colored tab on top of the drum is all the way to the left side. if its a group of fine lines, depending on whether it happens on internal reports or not, it could be the drum is going bad or you may have a bad scanner. write back with a little more info if this suggestion doesn't work.

good luck,

the waste ink pads are full ..when the black line appears it is an indicator that the waste ink pads are full it is usualy because the printer has reached its life expectancy the solution is either buy a new printer or pay a tech about 170 dollars to repair it

If you are using upper tray to send the fax than kindly open the fax gently and clean the lens with some cotton and spirit and than try to send the fax you will get the best result. to open the fax unit gently refer the user manual or this open by lifting it up side and you can see the lens inside it so clean the same ok.

all parts are ok just clean the printer it will work

can you try to post a copy of what you see wrong . and try to do an internal printout " function-6-4-start- under the fax button. "

Sometimes, the reason for a black line is dirt on the glass. Try cleaning the glass and rollers so there is no dirt that will stick to the glass from the rollers.
Also the original document make sure there is no dirt or creases as the creases will translate into a black line on the receiving end.

I hope this has answered your question sufficiently. If you have more questions please post a reply and i would be happy to assist. Thanks.
