sounds like the drum cleaning blade has gone soft with storeage....or a
small pieace of paper has stuck in wiper blade area....a few dozen white
sheets may help
usually wen the blade is gone soft ...replacement is the only solution...and
that may be hard to buy sepepary
the only other solution is to try and revamp the blade by boiling in hot
water
check for paper stuck in blade 1st

Try to print a few dozen white pages, followed by a couple completely
black pages, then white pages again until they come out clear, this
should clean any possible soiling of the paper path. BTW, Kyocera
printers have an amorphous silicon drum which is very robust and specced
for the full lifetime of the printer. That also means that when it
breaks, replacing it would cost you almost as much as a new printer.

Don't try to clean or wipe any toner inside the printer, you will get a
horrible mess. Also don't use a vacuum to clean the printer, because the
toner particles are so fine that they will get blown everywhere, which
is not exactly good for your health. There are special toner vacuums for
this purpose. I think there are places where you can rent one if you
really need to clean the printer.
