sometimes the answer is yes. the correct answer could be dependent on the make/model of printer, but you didn't bother to give that information - so a good answer isn't available.
Hi Juan.
I take it that you have a laser printer; i.e. toner cartridge.
You have probably checked your user manual.
It could be that the toner cartridge is nearly empty.
Purchase a new cartridge, and carefully replace the existing cartridge.
Many cartridges have an inbuilt fuser.
You can try cleaning all the rollers, the toner cartridge, and the fuser, but as the printing is light, you may be nearly out of toner.
Sounds like a bad toner, or possibly the scanner is dirty. If you look where it pulls the paper through it can have a small speck, but since its on the scanner tself it will put black lines all the way down the paper.
If its larger and smeared the Toner itself is probably bad and you need a new Toner Kit, should come with new rollers and a new cartridge as well.
When you say smudges, can you wipe the toner from the page with your fingers; or is it just smearing when it prints; but, the toner is affixed to the paper?
1) If you can smear it with your fingers; replace the fuser. It's not heating the toner properly
2) If it is smearing, but sticking; replace the DRUM.
Smeared output can result when you refeed a printed page into the
printer to make a double-sided page. This happens because the
rubber
rollers that grip the paper to pull it into the printer can pick
up toner
from the first side’s printing and smear it. So before replacing
parts, this is an easy thing to check. Printing multiple pages consecutively
will make the pages print progressively cleaner or you can clean the rollers with rubbing alcohol.
Smeared toner
also happens because the nonstick coating on the
fusing roller is scratched or has baked-on debris. This can happen
if the printer is in a dirty environment especially. If you are
comfortable removing the fuser, you can try to
clean it
with a soft cloth and alcohol, but make sure you let it cool down
first!
Finally, if this does not resolve your issue then make sure the fuser is
heating; toner that is not heated properly will fall from the page and smear. If the thermostat is bad or the fuser not working properly, you will most likely need to
replace the entire fuser assembly. This will be pretty expensive to
repair so hopefully it's one of those other issues.
Remove all of your toners and clean them off. Replace each one and make sure they are well setted in the unit before going to the next one. Make sure the carosel turns smoothly and nothing is hanging up on the sides. Reboot the whole printer and let it settle for 5 mins before printing. toners come lose sometimes when you turn carosel around. Hope this helps you these printers are a ***** to deal with ,but when they are right there great.
This happens to me every few months, I have to do a VERY detailed cleaning of all toner sensors. The knowledgebase on KM's website is actually very good about walking you through which sensors to clean and pictures indicating where they are located. This has fixed me up every time. GOOD LUCK!
I had the problems with white smear type fading on one side of the page , when pritning black, but colour printing seems OK. Did everything suggested in the manual and more. Changed toner. Been working on it a week. (I got 2000 pages out of that thing).
Now I have the solution. Bin the Samsung and buy a Canon.
