This is caused by one of 2 things. It is either the toner cartridge or the fuser film is going bad. Your printer may be printing fuzzy, blurry, or other faint text because of dirty print heads, so try to clean them, including roller.

Check fixing unit

Try printing from the manual feed tray(tray 1). Put a few sheets of paper in the tray. Print anything that is more than two or three sheets of paper. The paper path test is good, 10 sheets. As the paper gets about halfway into the printer, open the top door. Pull out the toner cartridge. Look down at the paper. If it's dirty it has to be the toner or the transfer roller. If it's clean it could be a dirty paper path or fuser.
Vacuum out the printer, if you have mounds of toner laying in the paper path, everything that comes out of the printer will be dirty.

Most cauuses to this is dirty or failing print head.

Many people would say it was the sponge that is doing that but let me tell you if it was a full sponge you would not even see that color tint. Its the print head that is not mixing correctly due to being dirty or corrosive. Do you use refilled ink cartridges? If so you answer is iron clad your print head will need to be replaced and you need to put a stop to the refilled oslution, if not then the print head got dirty or is defective.

1. print head cleaner
2. new print head.

This can be any of rthe following depending on the position iof the lines on the page. You need to establishe the position of the lines relative to the top of each page and this determines which of the following component will cause the problem

Dirty or damaged developer roller.
Dirty or damaged charging roller.
Dirty or damaged cleaning roller.
Dirty or damaged developer DSD wheels. These wheels are located on the outer ends of the color toner cartridge and appear as a black bushing.
Dirty or damaged transfer roller.
Dirty or damaged transfer drum.

All of them need inspecting and cleaning

Your print head may be dirty. Remove the ink carts and examine the print heads.

You should also examine the printer for a printer head parking location or cleaning pad (usually off to one side, where the cart sits when not in use or there is a pad on the side to use in cleaning the print head.)

If the print head is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth.
If the landing pad or cleaning pad is dirty from a leak, you may need to remove it or replace it.

Does printing sound normal? It is also possible that worn rollers may cause the page to advance incorrectly.

Hello,

A dirty glass base can cause ‘spots’ or blemishes to appear on your final printout. Additionally, if you had some sort of opaque liquid that may have transferred on to the glass base from a previous operation. But the majority of the unwanted vertical lines are generally caused by either a dirty or damaged print roller or faulty LEDs in the Scanner Module.

To separate one from the other you have to check the following:

Do you only see the lines with a Scan operation?
Do your print jobs print fine without any unwanted lines?

If you only see the unwanted lines during a Scan operation, then most likely you have a fault/dirty/obstructed LED module.

If you see the unwanted lines with all print operations (Scan, Print and Copy), then you most likely have a worn out, damaged or dirty Print Roller.

Hope this helps…
