Anybody familier with wide formats? W2400

Hi, All. I am not hugely familiar with issues on these machines. I am getting dark background on one side of the 36x48 image. The new drum blade is cleaning across the entire surface, and I do not see anything but a clean drum when I inspect the surface. The fuser rollers are fresh, and there is no buildup of any kind on the edge of the hot roller or pressure roller. What could be causing this? Removing the drum and development unit from this machine is a major pain in the ass, so I would like to have a plan of possible fixes before I take it apart again. Thanks.

dirty scanner or maybe one edge of the lid is letting light in?

Lol, this was absolutely correct. I had not reinstalled the side covers, and the offending side was pointed directly at a window. I put the side cover on, and that issue is resolved.

WHEW good job brother...

I was just grasping at straws with that suggestion!
