Is this made off the glass or through the ADF?

Broken holder/spring on your transfer roller.

Broken holder/spring on your transfer roller.

thank you are you referring to the transfer roller on the door by the fuser section that opens to remove paper jams ?

That's the one.

This might be a long shot but I have seen it before.

Is the left side cover latching when closed? Many times when someone closes that left side cover, they may push it closed on the front side not in the middle. The cover may look closed but its not latched in the back.

Just a thought.

Ok, I can translate:

I agree with darry1322. You should check to see if the transfer springs are still in place. =^..^=

Try changing both the transfer roller assembly and the drum input guide that comes in the maintenance kit. Both have caused me that grief in the past on multiple 420's and 520's.

Re: TA 520i Image issues

Parts Guide Transfer, 302GR94481. In parts manual page 11 Item A03. It comes in the maintenance kit. It sits just below the drum between the drum and the transfer roller and is held in with a single screw. You will need to remove the drum to replace it.
It usually has a yellow sticker on it warning users not to touch the drum surface.

The spacing of these smudges looks like possible fuser unit.
