    [Misc] Xerox 242 printing blank get grey stripes

    Hello,

    printing with xerox 242 and suddenly I am getting grey/light black stripes across printing paper (even printing blank). It gets darker at the end of the print and repeats across paper. It is visible only on heavyweight 2 and 3 paper. On plain paper is not visible. It erases with the eraser, feels like dirty paper stripes.

    What should I clean or check?

    Tried to make photo or copy. Attached a picture of printing blank paper to see, but which is not very visible.

    Hope for the help. Thank you!

    I've measured - dirty stripe repeats every 9 cm

      I don't work on this model, but it sounds like a drum issue.
      Is it possible to swap the drums around to see if the colour of the line changes?
