Hi!
This is my first post. I maintain to the best level I can some desktop printers at my office. I've done some relatively straightforward work before of replacing and refurbishing a few printer fusers, replacing fuser sleeves and rollers, cleaning pickup rollers, etc. and I'm still pretty new to how laser printer's function in general. I enjoy learning though.
I've found something I haven't run into before. I have a Brother DCP-8110DN, and it's printing out pages that have ghosting happening throughout the page. Here's the strange part, the rear door can be opened and prints can be printed and the paper can exit out the rear door after going past the fuser roller. When the page comes out through the rear door the print is clean and perfect with no ghosting, the toner is fused to the paper properly etc. Also with the rear door open, the printer doesn't sound the same, it's making less noise, you can hear less things turning inside, and the page comes out slower. When the rear door is closed and the printer is printing a page normally, you can hear more things happening inside, it's as if the printer is doing "more" to the page, yet the page comes out faster.
I usually see this type of ghosting when the fuser roller has some baked on toner and it retains some toner as it prints down the page, but this is usually in blotches, and not the whole page like it's currently doing.
The fuser roller looks clean, the toner roller and drum look clean. Any advice on what can be causing this ghosting, and any recommended things to try?
