The black GHOST IMAGES will print one day and the next day I have totally clear images. Still looking for ideas for the GHOST IMAGING ???
Thank you for the list of techs. Problem is all of them are many miles from me. So I am sure the trip charge would get me g@@d ...... lol

It sure does look like it´s the cleaning blade, bye me a ticket from Portugal to the U.S.A. and I would be kind enough to do a service maintenance free of charge. hehehe

vertical streak lines are caused by laser polygon mirror, you must
take apart laser unit, take out laser polygon mirror if possible and clean
metal jag witn alcohol and very little lubricate it.

With out seeing it it sounds like the charge assembly needs cleaned. It's a labor intensive process to get out the unit, as the developer and drum units should be removed to avoid damaging the drum. If you explain or send examples to a service provider they should be able to give you an estimate on time and price to look at the machine.

If you own/operate a print for pay shop, consider it a cost of operation. You can have you local tech look at it, but you will get your moneys worth with a factory trained tech. If he damages the drum getting the charge unit out, you're looking at several thousand dollars to replace it.

Just my $.02

This unit doesn't have a polygon mirror, it uses LED print heads to write the image.

LOL Cobi, he said : "take out laser polygon mirror if possible and clean
