Having a problem with my 3200 - it's not been used much recently and I'm having this problem evident on heavy stock. It's toning quite badly anyway so the drums are probably on the way out but I just wanted to get to the route of the problem.
The toning gets progressively worse as the prints go on (first fine, 2nd visable, 3rd getting ropey etc) - as you can see from the pics it's leaving white lines unaffected by the toning. I checked and the transfer belt's just picked up a few new scores but they don't seem to tie up with these lines. Furthermore, it's leaving little flecks of what look like dry toner (not fixed to the page). I put in an old black drum I had lying around the the scores are still there so I don't think the drums are the source of the problem. The cleaning blade's also relatively new (though I won't rule it out) and I can't see any evident problems on the fuser rollers.
I've played about with the levels on the pic to make the problem more evident - the toner fleck is the black dot on the left.
Would appreciate any advice.
