When printing color, I get vertical and horizontal lines. Attached is what came out, it is supposed to be an all red page.

Re: C3350 vertical/horizontal lines when printing color
What have done to attempt to fix this?? How old are drums and supplies? Thought about cleaning?

Re: C3350 vertical/horizontal lines when printing color
I have tried to clean it, but I am unsure what to clean.
I pulled out the toners and drums to clean that area. If its a part that needs to be unscrewed, I have not tried that. I do not want to take it apart if I do not have to.
I have not yet tried to replace the drums yet. I will need to order a new set. I would like to hold off on doing that, my company tries to save every dollar.Comment

Re: C3350 vertical/horizontal lines when printing color
There are:
Total 44822
Color 35479
Black 9343
I've printed each color on a full sheet. They end up with the same results. Horizontal/vertical lines and now there are also magenta and yellow spots that appear a few times in a line.Comment

Re: C3350 vertical/horizontal lines when printing color
The verbal description is not that helpful. How about posting those images?
Red is composed of magenta and yellow. Any areas that appear yellow are missing magenta. Any areas that appear magenta are missing yellow.
=^..^=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.

Re: C3350 vertical/horizontal lines when printing color
Do you know the Life expectancy of the drums and PM parts on your machine? And are you using OEM supplies?Comment

Re: C3350 vertical/horizontal lines when printing color
They are oem parts. The machine says that there is 20% of the CYM and 0% of the K.
Other than the streaks, there is no problem printing.
Attached are the scans of the colors. SKM_C3350170201153500.pdfSKM_C3350170201153700.pdfSKM_C3350170201153800.pdfComment

Re: C3350 vertical/horizontal lines when printing color
The lines in the feed direction could be toner on the laser glass.
The lines in the cross direction looks like pitch lines meaning gears that is jittery on the drive.
Is the machine more noisy than it should be or can you feel a vibration if it runs?WhateverComment

Re: C3350 vertical/horizontal lines when printing color
Nothing out of the ordinary. As long as I've worked here (for a few months), it's been the same.
The lines have been happening for a while, or so I've been told, but I never noticed because I don't print colored pages.Comment

Re: C3350 vertical/horizontal lines when printing color
I see 2 lines common to all colors, and then on the cyan copy, spots of magenta and yellow. I wonder if you pull out the color drum you may see those lines. And I would
closely inspect the transfer belt.

Check the transfer belt - these machines are well known for wrecking belts, i have changed loads of them even on machines that are rarely used.Comment

Re: C3350 vertical/horizontal lines when printing color
I would also look at the fuser and transfer belt for wear and their life count. if all is well with that i would change K drum first and check for any improvement.Comment
