Why do I have lots of vertical lines on my copies? Put in a new toner cartridge but that didn't fix the problem. Anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

Drum unit is damaged or scratched. Replace drum. Certainly sounds like a mechanical issue rather than a software issue. I had a similar issue on my laser printer, and replacing the drum solved it.

SOURCE: Black lines on the right side of every copy

depending on what the lines look like it could be the charge roller or transfer roller.
A defect on the charge roll appears as black areas on the front of the test page, and as light gray areas on the test page.
A defect on the PC drum of the toner cartridge appears as white areas on a dark, full–coverage test print and as black areas on the "text only" test page.
I have also seen a line with a 'ridge' on the paper. This will appear almost like an embossed line. This was caused by the fuser roller being scored by debris.

SOURCE: vertical line on copies

A vertical line on laser copiers which are the same lenght apart on each indicates a dirty or defective toner cartridge or dirty or defective rollers. Take the cartridge out and wipe the rollers with a soft cloth. If the streaks continue then the rollers inside the cartridge or damaged. You will need to replace the toner cartridge.

Vertical line on paper from top to bottom

In my experience if you refill the toner cartridge with the toners available in the market,though they are labelled"for Brother 2140" you get vertical dark patches on the paper. Once in a while you get good quality print too. Replacement with correct toner cartridge seems to the solution.

Vertical blank "line" on printed material.

try the toner cartridge. You can see where its coming from by printing 1 page. When the page starts coming out of the machine open the cover. Take out the toner cartridge and look at the page. The line should be there and you should be able to figure whats causing it. It's almost always the toner cartridge. If you have an old cartridge put it in and run a test with it. If the line is gone its the cartridge. Steven 818-888-0006

Black Vertical line on copies using MFC-8660DN

Vertical lines mean it is being caused by one of the rollers within the printer. This is usually either the toner cartridge or the fuser assembly. I would try changing out the toner cartridge first even if it is new as sometimes they are DOA and they are much cheaper than the fuser assemblies. If that doesn't work, probably the fuser assembly.

Printer putting line down the page

I had a hp 3050 yesterday with two vertical lines running down the page when making a copy. All I had to do was to pull open the top cover where you put the paper you want copied and cleaned the glass strip with a rag and alcohol and the lines were gone.
