color printing.

You have a full page scanner in front of you and you send us cell phone pictures?

You obviously know absolutely nothing about how a digital color printer works. If you did you would know exactly what those marks down the edge are.

So let me educate you. Those marks down the side of the prints are the ID patches used by ProCon to control image quality and alignment between the four colors. They are placed on the ITB between prints. For them to be on the prints, you have a defective ITB cleaning unit.

Hi yes i know. It has been changed. But i have the same problem.

just change cleaning unit and clean up your id sensor. that is MUSIC pattern

It's basically IMPOSSIBLE to have that result if the cleaning unit has been replaced P R O P E R L Y, and you didn't state that you had replaced it in your initial post.
You said you replaced the Transfer Unit.
I'm guessing that the unit you swapped in was used, so it probably also has a bad Cleaning unit.

Your paper guides are not set correctly or the guides have jumped a tooth.

Those patterns should be outside of the image area. Usually happens on tray one as that prints LEF.

Turn the tray over on the issue is happening on, you will see a white gear, remove this, set the tray guides to the correct position then refit the gear.

This happens because user slams the tray in hard when full (even though they are soft close!)

In printer SP execute SP1-103-02 to do a test pattern, it should look like this, an even boarder.

I agree with what copier tech says, those lines should not be there, to find them there, the only possibility to see them is to jam the machine during calibration, or not to mount the cleaning unit, but the rest of the image would be all dirty

Spot on, the Metis does music during print run, outside of the print area so unlike previous models you should never see them on the page (unless the paper isn't centred in the tray)

thank you very much. I'll try it now and update you.
