    The first thing I would do is clean the black printhead.

    The slit glass on the laser assembly (print head) that writes the image to the drum. Use the long, flat, plastic, stick with the white pad on the end to clean this glass.

    If I remember correctly it can be found underneath a cover in the front of the top paper cassette.

    Confirm that. Clean the slit glasses. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    i cleaned the glass from the inside (removed the unit to do it better) but nothing...
    any other ideas ? maybe a faulty developer unit?

    Push a piece of paper between the dev roller and doctor blade and move from side to side. This should release built up toner.

    I had some of those myself, the laser unit might be dirty(i mean the glass on top) if you had the machine running for a long time without service or some other toner have been in use that would be my first guess, second would be what nei said before but its not always efective depending on the difference you had before, only way is to change the unit again. loads of luck with that.
