        Mornin.

        High-res scan attached see what you make to it.

        I think I need to print 2 blank pages out to see if the spots are in the exact same place each time. Which would be dirty rollers.

        But If the position of the spots is different every time, thats gotta be a probelm with the black toner cartidge or the drum?

        The machine wasn't used for a year, I also know the black cartridge is full and the colors half used.

                It's there, but depending on your monitor, it can be hard to notice. There's a thumbnail of dots on the paper you can enlarge - not a "copy" per se.
                I Never had the pleasure of working on one of these beasts, but it looks related to either a cleaning station seal and/or dev issue to me

                    FACE PALM,

                    Ive added some text to the copy. The scan is an A4, I just copied a white background to show the toner drops on thier own.

                        Agreed. This is probably not a fuser issue. It's either toner dribbling down from a drum cleaning unit, or overtoner developer, probably black units. Beware, costs are rising already. =^..^=

                            I think it could be toner dribble because there was evidence it was spilling into the top paper trays when I picked it up.
                            So it could be in the black toner hopper that needs cleaning? or the inner rolls?


                            Or you say could be the cleaning unit.


                            I think the next step then is to learn out to open up the drum unit and get to the internal rollers and remove the black toner hopper.


                            If it is the drum then im left with no choice then to take it into the back yard and invite some mates round. =
