    Thanks for this very informative video. I now could diagnose the problem, there are horizontal lines of same distance on the paper due to marks on the drum. Even though these marks on the drum are very difficult to see, they cause the toner to sit there and therefore are transferred to the paper. I believe it was caused by the fact that I haven't used the printer for about one year, and the toner left on the drum, from the contact with the wiper blade or de developer roller, affected the surface of the drum.

    thank you for your excellent illustration, but I have a different problem and I'm not sure about the reason. the problem is a grey area (about 0.5 cm) is appeared in the upper right side of the paper only when I use duplex. The single side printing is perfect but the problem raised only with duplex.

    my printer is Samsung SCX-5635

      If this only happens with duplex it suggests something dirty/defective where the paper redirects for duplexing; so one of the duplex rollers maybe?

    my printer is working bad. papers come out of the printer with black strips and stains. paper no longer remains white.
    i see the toner dirty with black powder. Cleaned it but it doesn't improve. it keeps on coming out. does it mean the toner is bad and should be replaced? or is it something else?
    Its the original toner and didn't go through half of its lifespan

    At the half way point not a mention of the word LASER! Of course the video is about the toner cartridge. I say the fast food industry continues to make the case for the DIY to desert! The evolving physical implementation of technology, that is those factors such as materials and miniaturization, has made hands-on maintenance almost impossible and impractical while driving down manufacturing costs and thus market prices. Is it far less costly to: disassemble a faulty device, then find a questionable (if not certain) failed component, then search for the replacement (if neither are too old!), pay the price including shipping or go get it yourself, wait for the part to arrive, install the part and hope you’ve solved the problem than think of buying a replacement toner cartridge under some form of warranty? At this point you’re halfway to the cost of a whole new printer! There’s a guarantee: you could do more damage along the way. The video discusses various parts of the cartridge that if damaged would possibly be the cause of a particular print out defect. The simplest is toner issues. The video claims no 2 toners are exactly alike. Whoever thought that a toner is not a-toner-is-not-a-toner? A toner “mismatch” or mixing could further the problem. IF the toner is thought to be the problem then the video suggests using compressed air to blow out the old toner from the cartridge BEFORE replacement. Apparently this method provides the best assurance that “old” toner is purged from the cartridge! What kitchen-drawer-screwdriver has the facilities for this method? Then again note the health issues section under “toner” in Wikipedia. Leave these toner troubleshooting instructions for the professional recycler. The only lesson from this video is trade it in and buy a refurbished or new toner cartridge or regret being naïve and then do the same.

I also notice along the left side within the 1cm margin region, there appears to be sporadic "loose" ink that smears off after the page has been stacked with other pages. The test page looks fine except the said 1x1cm bottom left corner has the "loose" ink. Otherwise, in normal pages with 1" margins, the problem won't be seen. The printer has 170k+ printed pages total and both fusers and rollers are "empty" on the printer resource page report. Toner is about 75% full.

The "looseness" of ink appears worst at the bottom left within the 1cmx1cm area and reappears about 3" above that then another 3" higher then the problem almost no longer appears in the upper 1/3 of the left margin area. A normal page with 1" margins would look quite flawless as far as i can tell in a normal text.

    Thank you very much for this video! I've been an IT professional for more than 10 years, but never held a position that entailed very much printer support. As such, I haven't done more than replacing toner cartridges (and solid ink, and inkjet cartridges). My personal printer at home, an HP LaserJet 4000dn, started acting up and this video helped me to diagnose the reason toner was building up on a thin strip of the drum. I really appreciate that you describe the cause of the malfunction and explain the purpose of the individual parts of the toner cartridge, and not merely state a given part is bad.

    I took the toner cartridge drum out of my Brother MFC-8810DW and took it outside and lightly banger the drum on a rag to get the toner ink that accumulated in a pan beneath the or adjacent to the roller out of the cartridge. Then used compressed air to blow out this powered ink until it was gone. Turned the roller by hand and cleaned the roller of toner ink with isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth several times, till clean
    Took cotton tip applicators and cleaned any surfaces I could get to on the drum, including inside the slot that the green tab runs on. Now first printed copy no longer gets a 3 inch +vertical black line on the right side of copied paper when printing from the computer, so far anyway. Seems to do the trick. Just clean up the drum. I did not take the drum apart.

I to clean it and let it dry and i printed a page and found out there was little to any ghosting, after printing a cleaning page and printing more, the ghosting is super faint. this probably means it needs to be cleaned a bit more or replaced. Either way, you have saved me tons, thank you.

  • @charleshines6155

    I had the problem with gray pages. I just took the toner cartridge out of the drum assembly (sold as two separate parts) and very carefully blew the toner sitting loose in the drum assembly out (careful not to spit on it or accidentally blow the toner in my face). The prints come out clean again now. I did that outside and over the grass, there was not much toner there to clean out. It made a big difference in print quality. It made it print like it was new again. We had the printer since maybe 2005 or sooner and have only changed the toner twice. The first one was the starter cartridge that usually doesn't come with as much toner as one bought separately. Then the second one changed was another full one. I never needed a new drum yet and never had any issues with the printer other than ONE paper jam. Of course my laser does not print color but I had an inkjet and I hated that thing, inkjets are nothing but trouble.

  • @penangtv6108

    My problem was that the toner was clumped & not being applied onto the developer roller. I solved it by running a the corner of a clean A4 paper into the slit behind the roller. No need to remove the roller. You should be able to slide the paper into slit/mouth at the back compartment of the roller where the new toner is stored. This problem happened after I refilled & living in a humid place, the toner powder clumped & blocked the slit. My printer was printing very faint half pages. Very similar symptoms with the drum ground contact fault & low toner powder fault IE not enough toner being applied to the paper . Ricoh 311 printer. Hopefully this helps someone. 😀

    We have a laser printer where a crudely written '!' seems to impress itself as the rollers turn about. I keep thinking someone crudely impressed the '!' into the drum roll or the charge roll. People are too timid to say that it was vandalism, but the '!' looks too articulate to be a random artifact. I live in an apartment community, and I suspect the mark was purposely imprinted onto a printer part to cut down printing costs. Is it possible to vandalize a laser printer to do this?

    I have an OKI c821 laser jet printer, mainly used for printing on T-shirt transfer paper size A3.
    It has developed a single short horizontal line on the prints. It's always in the same place, possibly blue, bottom right hand side, 8cm long starting from the edge and about 3cm up from the bottom of the page. It does not repeat up the page so I really don't know what it is. If it was the blue drum wouldn't it repeat up the page?

      +aharz1 it's difficult to say, probably it's not the drum but it may be related to the drum unit. it may be a bad contact into cyan drum unit, or it can be the drum with a defect and the charge roller discarge though that defect

      do you have already reassembled the cartidge? the developer roller is held in position by the contact with the drum, so during refilling it's possible that the cartridge leaks toner. also, may be the developer roller blade it's not in position, look at the foam at the side of the blade. look at the developer roller mylar sealing blade.
