Try replacing color toner of the same color that are the lines.If the void was in the same place all of the time then I would say use a Q tip dipped in 90 proof alcohol and clean laser.
Hello, one idea is that you rouined printhead with tap water and second idea is to buy new print head or printer. Note: If you want to replace ink head, be sure to replace purge unit and ink absorber also.
pull out the black cartridge then get a tissue paper try pressing the nozzle again the tissue paper but not so hard then release look for the straight line that appear on the tissue paper if it is not change it
I have a brother MFC 3240C. My Black ink stopped printing(initially printed horizontal faded lines and gradually got worse), the other colors were printing fine. I tried cleaning numerous time( 50 -100 times over 1-2 weeks ). Still no improvement. The way I print now is:
1. I go to Printer Properties
2. Change Media type from "Plain Paper" to "Inkjet Paper".
3. Change Quality to "Photo".
This takes a long time to print 1-2 minutes per page. However, this works for me since this is my Home printer and use it for printing only few pages here are there.
Do you refill ink tank? Print blank pages. Is there horizontal lines appear? It might be caused bay ink leakage. Check respiratory hole at ink tank and rubber seal at bottom of ink tank. Print blank pages until no horizontal lines and try to use new ink tank.
1) Dirty heads, even after cleaning 2) No-ink or poor quality ink 3) Damaged head: some are part of the cartridge, some are not 4) Air bubbles in ink
The test page is typically not as hi-res nor as saturated as a photo print. The hi-res photo puts the greatest demand on the print head.
The color lines you see are actually lines of missing color, where the head has failed to deposit ink, so one or two primary colors are missing from the complete picture.
For example missing yellow will make a blue line. Missing magenta will make a green line Missing cyan will make a red line.... etc..
Clean the heads again and again, print again and again, hoping to flush the system.
BUT, keep in mind that cleaning wastes huge amounts of ink and tiny little cartridges of ink cost more than many new printers.
Depends on whether the "lines" are colored or just blank areas missing in the print . If it is blank areas , then most likely the laser scanner is dirty and the glass needs to be cleaned . If it is colored lines , then you most likely have a defective drum .
