What do you mean by... run sky shots?
sorry just new to service industry of MFP.
Hi this means you take copies with the platen lid up or doc feed so its copying nothing on the glass.
Thanks
Don't worry about the white lines. They are almost always the fluorescent lights.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Most all of us have been the new guy.

The main reason you might want to run sky shots is rapidly consume toner. If you're trying to identify an image quality issue 15% fill halftone images are better for picking out patterns, and repetitive defects. =^..^=
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've carried a sheet of black construction paper, and copied it instead of running with the cover open.
That way you don't get all the toner dumping in all the non-image areas.
Unless your goal is to waste a pound of toner, of course.

Sometimes it is. Skyshots are good for older machines that are backgrounding due to an F2-02. 3511's often benefit from thisOriginally Posted by KenB

Always run a shot with a sheet of white paper over 1/4 of the copy glass.
With a big white lead edge you won't get into the habit of fishing paper jambs out of the fuser. A shot can tell you a lot about machine in a short amount of time, it's a quick stress test tool for diagnostics. As you become more proficient you will learn to identify uneven charge, toner levels, density, lines, missing colours, dev voids and fusing issues all in one copy. A sky shot is both your friend and your foe. As a Foe, it allows you to see problems that you know you'll be back to fix.
If the customer is not standing over your shoulder; include at least one 3/4 coverage sky shot in your normal PM schedule.
We'll see you back here in a couple of years time when you ask the guys
what those mosaic effects are on your sky shot...

It doesn't matter what size paper you use for this. It's the contrast that allows you to variations in toner density, and lines caused by uneven developed, and corona charge lines, and spot optical refraction lines caused by dust.
