I have a LJ4 (with the extra below the unit paper mag) but the printer
has a trouble with pulling out the paper from the heating roller.
The paper ends up with a lot of wrinkles....
I was gonna try to replace the small rolers who pulls out the print.
Came home with a dumpster-find Laserjet 4 (with
jetdirect
board) yesterday. Self-tests OK but prints with some minor
repetitive ghosting on the pages (it has almost a million
pages on the clock).
There's some baked-on toner on the fuser roller which
might[1] (most probably!?) be the culprit,
When the teflon coating on the fuser roller starts to deteriorate, some of the toner
sticks to it - then it gets re-deposited further on down the page, causing a
"repeat".
It's also possible for a faulty toner cartridge to cause a similar repeat.
Measure the distance between the initial image, and the repeat. If it's right around
2 1/2", then it's being caused by the fuser. (3 1/8" on a LJ 4+). Repeats
that are 3 3/4" or 2" apart are caused by the toner cartridge.
