What causes horizontal stripes on Brother printer output?
Horizontal stripes on your Brother printer output can be caused by several factors: * Dirt on charged electrode: Clean both electrodes. * Bend of tray ground spring: Replace the paper tray. * Toner attached on the develop roller: This problem will disappear by printing approximate 10 pages. If the same problem occurs, replace the toner cartridge. * Scratch on the heat roller: Replace the fuser unit. * HVPS control PCB failure: Replace the HVPS control PCB ASSY.
What to do if one color is light on Brother HL-3040CN?
If one color is printing lighter than it should on your Brother printer, there are several potential causes. It could be due to dirt on the exposure drum electrode, develop roller electrode, or belt unit electrode, so clean both electrodes in these cases. Another reason might be dirt on the LED array, so wipe the dirt off with a clean, soft, and lint-free cloth. Other possible causes include lifting of LED ASSY, so re-assemble the LED ASSY, toner/new sensor PCB failure, so replace the toner cartridge of the appropriate color, HVPS control PCB failure, high-voltage power supply PCB failure, LED head control PCB failure, or main PCB failure. In these cases, replace the corresponding ASSY.
Why is my Brother HL-3040CN Printer printing a light on the whole page?
If your Brother printer is printing light on the whole page, it could be due to several reasons. It may be caused by HVPS control PCB failure, high-voltage power supply PCB failure, engine PCB failure, main PCB failure, LED head control PCB failure, LED ASSY failure, or Registration mark L PCB failure. In these cases, replace the corresponding ASSY.
How do I resolve horizontal lines on my Brother printouts?
If you're seeing horizontal lines on your Brother printer's output, it could be due to several reasons. It might be due to dirt on charged electrode, so clean both electrodes. Another cause may be a Paper tray ground terminal provided in machine body, so correct bending of paper tray ground terminal. Toner attached on the develop roller might be another reason, this symptom might disappear after making approximate 10 prints. A scratch on the heat roller could also be the reason, so replace the fuser unit. Other potential causes include HVPS control PCB failure or High-voltage power supply PCB failure, so replace the corresponding ASSY.
What causes vertical streaks on Brother HL-3040CN Printer prints?
Vertical streaks on your Brother printer prints can be caused by several factors. It could be due to dirt in the paper feed system, so wipe the dirt off. Another cause may be a dirty exposure drum, so clean the drum unit. Other reasons include a bend of tray ground spring, in this case, replace the paper tray, a scratch on the heat roller, in this case, replace the fuser unit, or an LED ASSY failure, so replace the LED ASSY.
