My printer, LANIER LP116cn, is leaving a vertical fade on every page I print. What is causing this and how to I correct it?
what have you done?Originally Posted by kbowald
check toner
clean laser glass
check the fuser
are you a tech or end user?
I am simply a user. I am 3 months in on my first office job, at the age of 55. I have absolutely no IT experience at all. I was a Pastry Chef, so my expertise lies more in cheesecake, Petit Fours or macarons.
I have checked the toner, it is good.
How do I check the fuser?
You don't give to many details. I assume this is a black print issue. In addition to what was already mentioned you could be dealing with a faulty drum unit or transfer unit among other things. If you have ruled out toner you're going to need a tech. The bottom line, however, is you're dealing with a printer that is about 13 years old. It's not worth putting any money into this unit. I recommend replacing the printer.
By vertical do you mean parallel to the direction of paper travel or perpendicular as each has different causes.
Parallel. Each time I print I get a "strip" about 3/4 of an inch wide that prints much lighter than the rest of my document or picture.
It starts about 5 3/8" in from the left edge of the paper and runs from the top of my document to the bottom.
please provide picture of the page and indicate direction of paper travel
Sounds like a dirty laser shield glass.
I know I am not very good at describing my problem. I do appreciate any and all the suggestions and help you are offering.
Is this something I can clean myself ?
