    Looks like a transfer problem, if the ITB looks good I'd try a new PTR.

    If you stop midcycle, does a lot of toner remain on itb? If so then it's transfer related. If not then likely fuser. My first thought if fuser is the pressure roller has gotten soft, not applying enought pressure to the paper. I forget, does this model have a thick 4? 300g is likely thick 4 area.
    I've proved mathematics wrong. 1 + 1 doesn't always equal 2.........

    Thick3 is only for paper weights up to 256 g/m2. You might try setting for Thick4.

    Print driver doesn't have thick 4, probably I'll download new driver that has thick 4.

    The driver I downloaded earlier was today was PCL6 Ver. 1.15.0.0 Released Date: 10/21/2020

    I would avoid using any universal driver as those are cross platform drivers and if any of the other platforms does not support Thick4 then the universal driver will not either.
