Kyocera TA 4551 TI - Problem color vertical lines

[max299x]

Hey everyone,
For the past few weeks, my prints have been showing some vertical lines on the paper. At first, it was just at the top of the page, but now it’s covering almost the whole thing.
I’m attaching a copy of a blank page.
Any idea what could be causing this?

Yep, seen that many times. Your transfer belt has aged and has split allowing the glue between the laminations to come to the surface. That glue is now over all the drums.
bare minimum fix is a new transfer belt and a couple of hours cleaning the glue off the drums. If it’s a do and charge client then I’d simply quote four drums and the belt effectively writing the machine off. Better off selling them a new machine or a good refurbished 53 series.

I agree with Ropariva 100%
