Depending on what you mean by the back of the machine, it probably will get hot as that machine uses heat to fuse the toner to the paper, and the fusing unit is in a place that could be considered the back of the machine. The toner fusing in a wide format machine is rather large.
As for the print defect, it could be the paper you are printing on. Or maybe worn out developer or an arcing corona. But as I cannot see the problem I'm not sure.
