Brother laser printer hl - 5340dl

[florence kat 11]

Copies are coming off the printer with undesirable little black marks,

repeated down the page  at approx. four inch intervals.

This would suggest something on a roller.  What can be done?

While I'm no tech when it comes to printers, I've had to revive a few over the years.

 

A couple of things have caused marking that I've come across.

 

1. Build up of toner powder and bits dropping on the print. Give it a good clean. I don't honestly know what's in the toner but I made sure to not breath any in!

 

2. Damaged or contaminated fuser (the roller that gets hot) If you can, give it a clean and remove anything that shouldn't be there. If it's damaged they usually can be replaced but I found it was as cheap to get a new printer in most cases.

 

That just about exhausts my knowledge of repairing laser printers. Good luck with it.
