Problem with my Lexmark Laser Printer

[darkhavoct]

Hi guys,

I just picked up a Lexmark Optra SC 1275.

Im having alittle trouble with it. I thought the hardpart would be networking it to my network.. but after a few hrs that was over. Im not familar with lazer printers at all

but when i print something...

the right hand side of the paper is cut off in a faded manner ... so something to do with the printer setting.. It seems like hardware to me... not sure though

And on the edge where its missing.. There is a consistant dark/black streeches on the side. They have a small ripple pattern u can notice as u look closer.

I tried to clean the inside but i think theres a piece im not gettin or something. I dunno what it is...

any ideas?

thanks

Does the output resemble either of these?

the lines u have were straight lines

where it cut off is straight. but the dark error on the side isnt.

Did you purchase this New or Used?

Looks to me that there is something suck on the transfer roller or drum (perhaps a LABEL).

If it is attached to the drum, good luck.
