Replace or clean the charge roller.

measure the distance between dots and report back

Yes Phil, he can skip this, BC and allan already liked darry1322 post. Which means alot as you know.
There's an excellent explanation how to troubleshoot repetitive image defects found in KonMin site.
It's like 50% of my skills, yet with this simple knowledge you can solve like 50% of every manufacturer's problems. Old school techs know what I'm talking about.

repetitive marks have always been the mainstay in PQ/CQ problems.

I AM OLD school..

frankly I can't look at a .pdf or jpeg and determine the distance...

i no longer have access to KM site.. but repetitive marks have always been explained by all manufacturers

I would have answered the OP with the cold shoulder "get a tech response".
The repeating distance just seems to frequent to be a drum.

Measure the distance between your dots them work back the circumference to a diameter.

Diameter = circumference/3.14

That will give you an idea of the rollers in question.

Or just wrap the paper around until the dots line up and then you have a visual idea of the roller diameter.

Photographs can be kind of tricky to guess at. The photo rarely gives any indication of the size of the print media, only the proportion.

I find it astonishing that I have to continue to ask to measure the repetitive interval. Isn't that the most basic of technician tricks? I learned the basic precepts in 4rth grade geometry, which would have been around 1971(?). And how about the guesses?: "Oh it's less than three inches..." well that narrows it down to most of the rollers in the machine. =^..^=

kicking a dead horse Brother!

remember we didn't have the internet back then so we had to use LOGIC to narrow things down.. now just jump on CTN ..ask about a problem... don't give all info and expect the "ol' heads" to figure it out for us.
