        Shading adjust can cause this. So can developing, if you have a scrap of paper or some other contaminant in the developing unit.
        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 have tried different drum and dev unit as in the past had odd problems down to dev roller what I'm trying to avoid is buying a scrapper just to swap boards fibre optis etc.

            Transfer roller? Remove and clean with cold water.

            Since you eliminated the drum & dev (most common for light areas), transfer roller may be the issue. If not, that leaves the image unit (not likely) and the fuser - but my limited exp is fusers leave dark or "flaky" areas - not light.

              light band

              Check the laser unit, if the laser unit shield glass is dirty it will cause light copy/print.
