    IR1600 bad copies on the front end

    Hi everybody, I had seen the machine in object that has a problem on the copy: every page has the front side with a several irregular black lines. I've stopped the paper between the fuser and the drum and the defect was just in the drum.
    I've checked the drum and the development, but I didn't seen anything abnormal.

    I suppose that it could be the drum.

    Is there anyone that could help me?

    Thank you in advance

      23k copies is enough for a drum?

            Look at the distance between the recurring marks. Create a cylinder that size in circumference, and it will usually lead you to the culprit. Also note that some developers seem to build up a deposit of toner that is deeper than the rest of the toner on the mag roller, and this will create recurring marks as well. Clean the mag roller off with a clean dry rag, and remove the toner buildup off of the mag roller...

              Thank you everybody. The problem was fixed by the change of the drum
