          How's the consumable sheet? Is any consumable near the end of life? (If any IU is chipped or any other consumable reset by fuse or service mode, then the answer should be "yes").

          Try to post in english also - this thread could help someone else in the future!

            If you enlarge to 400% and examine the side voids toward the center of the page you'll see that the image makes a brief shift, the back. I interpret this to mean one of a couple of possibilities:

            I believe that the paper is shifting in the main-scan direction during secondary transfer.
            There may be too much paper buckle.
            The leading edge may be snagging on something in the paper path near the fuser inlet. (what paper weight?)

            I've seen something similar on Okidata printers, when very heavy paper stock is being printed. When the leading edge reaches the bite of the fixing rollers the paper momentarily hesitates as the fuser tries to advance the paper. This creates a buckle that distorts the image that is still transferring further down the page. Is the artifact always the same distance from the leading edge?

            =^..^=
            If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
            1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
            2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
            3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
            4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
            5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                  I don't want to mislead you. The heavy paper issue was not something that could be compensated for on the printer. The paper was just too heavy.

                  The customer would produce documentation that the paper was 7.4 point (~110# offset, ~60# bond) which was the top limit as far as paper weight goes for that specific machine. All I could do is advise them to use lighter paper.
