Along with the vertical streak of light type that runs the entire
length of the page near the left margin, that same streak has a
rough texture to it when your run your finger over it. The rest of
the paper feels normal. Any ideas what could be causing this? Would
cleaning the laser scanner unit be the next logical step as explained

Thanks for your reply.

HP manuals will tell you what item is faulty based on the spacing of
the repeated image. Each roller that can affect the image is a
different size for this reason. Clean the relevant roller.

There were times that parts of the image were reprinted (think old TV with
rabbit ears receiving a secondary bounced signal) at a specific interval.

I used the repetitive defects ruler in the manual which is also shown he

The spacing of the defect was 76mm which put the fuser roller as one of the
primary suspects. I decided to swap out the fuser assembly with another
machine that I had which wasn't in service and the problem seems to have
been corrected for now.

Thanks for your reply.
