Could be a bend or bad contact, check to make sure that all the metal contacts that touch the cartridge are in good shape. You could also have a clogged waste toner bin on the printer. Or possibly a bad high voltage power supply.

Testimonial: "The problem suggests that magenta is always written or never written, or the laser beam for the magenta color is not swithing. I, being an Electrical engeneer, would like to find a place where the working sequence is shown and explained, and with a schematic diagram and layout of the boards I could find some places to compare the 4 colors to compare for fault finding."

Sounds like printhead needs replacement.
Moving these printers without cool down is known to destroy printheads and of course wax goes everywhere and then everything else fails.Think about replacement

If the problem re-appears and updating the firmware (from office.xerox.com) does not help you are most likely looking at a replacement processor board.

SOURCE: My Xerox 6130 keeps printing vertical pink lines on pages

your color laser printer pink vertical line appear on the roller and film drum,
1) you need check the pink drum surface, it got damage if you find there is a different color vertival line on the drum surface, so you need change the pink drum.
2) check the pink drum cleaner (call brush to return the waste toner), it can not clean well sometimes, if the drum surface good.

SOURCE: Phaser 6350 flooded with magenta toner

Problem developers start leaking toner. The problem is that some times the toner spuills into developers below it and damaging them. The problem may appear as a grinding noise that may indicate a developer gear/motor problem, when in fact its a bad developer that is not running smoothly. It may be expensive, and you may have to replace ALL the Developers.

What can be the cause for the complete page background being printed pale pink, including the Xerox own test page.

Hi,
If it is a genuine magenta cartridge then try a drum refresh...

On the control panel of the printer: start the menu
Choose Admin Menu \ Maintenance Mode \ Drum Refresh

Once it has finished turn it off and on again and see how it goes. You may have a faulty drum though or even a faulty transfer belt.
All the best!

Every printed page has a pale pink background from edge to edge

Hi again Jan,
It is possible that your drum but to be sure, get a trained Xerox Technician to check it out...

There is still a possibility that it is something else entirely, so getting a technician out would be the best bet... Sorry I couldn't give more of a definitive answer. Sometimes things need to be seen in real life to diagnose properly.

Background of the complete surface of the white sheet exits with a pale Magenta coverage, also the Xerox testpage.

It's the magenta drum that's causing the problem so you'll have to replace the imaging unit.But first try removing the imaging unit and cleaning the laser windows and the metal contacts.

Printer wont print the right colour

You might have selected the wrong profile for your preferences. Go to printer properties and select defaults for all. This will solve your problem. If still facing problem comment back.

Replaced cartridges

keep cleaning untill it starts to print clearly, you may reuse the same paper for that purpose, if you don't see any progress after 10 cleans, consider getting lasser printers, they are immune to print head drying and save alot of money on ink replacements. go with brother color or black and white series. I switched and don't have problems anymore

Pink lines and background on all prints

I have seen this recently on an HP 4250 and the red toner cartridge was at fault. Can you replace it and try to print again?

Extra background color in my printing

You really should not run labels through this machine unless they are full sheets. If you are running used pages the glue will build up on the tranfer belt and cause the hazing.
