      zoraldinho,

      I believe what you are looking at is a developer problem. I've heard that after a while this problem
      shows up.
      The cure is to remove the developer unit and with a clean t-shirt kind of cloth,
      dry wipe the mag roller. Use the toner on the roller as a buffing agent.
      If this improves the copy you may chose to replace the developer unit.
      Or you could try this, clean the developer unit out of all toner. Save some toner for later.
      Then with the same type cloth use alcohol and clean the mag roller. Then with the saved
      toner and a dry cloth, use the toner as a buffing agent and buff the mag roller.
      Refill with toner and check the copy.

      LY3IJ has a good point, that we need a point of reference as far as how the copy was made.
      I knew a salesman once that was showing how good the solid black is on a copier. So he
      opened up the feeder and pressed start. The copy out had a wide blank streak toward one
      edge. So he placed a service call only to find out that the copier took a picture of the
      overhead light.

      Keep us posted on the problem

        size of paper A4
        this is "test page with opened cover"
        the same thing happens on prints or copies so no overhead lights involved
        the arrow on my sample is wrong ... feed direction is opposite...
        will check & clean the mag roller
        it was my bet too but i wanted canon techs opinion


        by the way how do i enter the service mode and print PG1?
        i am a konica guy so please help

                  just measure the pitch of white area, if it's 4cm, it's come from dev cylinder which covered with layer of toner.

                        I don't really know, I only have one of these. A friend of mine told me of this problem. I will have to
                        ask him again. But I am going to clean it till it doesn't work or the time between cleanings gets to
                        short.
