My first thought was ITB too, but the other arguments about the drum are sounding very solid to me.

There are clues that gives away the ITB the clear band there the IDS sensor operates and the middle pawl that seemed to starch the entire circumference in my opinion. The lines on the top looks like the PCR from the drum.

My bet would be both ITB and drum. Who knows...


Is there any repeating intervals?
Does it happen consistently or only in the begin of print jobs, every page, every other page, after make was sitting for a while?
The shade looks worse towards the WTB side? waste toner is baking up in the ITB or may be drum?

I had few times on 308e similar smear but smaller, like eyebrow shape about 1-2cm long.
In all cases drum was near end life or overdue.
Replacing drum solve problem.

ive seen the same stain pattern twice, i replaced both the transfer belt and the DV unit and it went away.
honestly couldnt tell you which one fixed it but it was between those two.
new drum made no change.

Well I withdraw my ITB cleaning unit suggestion, too - please file it under "general cleaning recommendation"

After all the guesses hopefully the OP will report back with what it turned out to be.......

Hello, I am sending you the copy of the defect attached.
waiting for your reply, I salute you.

Is it just me or is there a wrinkle in the page? The paper does not appear to be skewed when the image is put on the page. Was the paper folded before it was scanned? If not, you need to visually inspect the fusing unit. I don't think that's what is causing all of the image quality problems but it needs to be checked out. I'm leaning towards the transfer belt or transfer roller for the image problems.
