OMG, so glad I found your clip! I was one step away from throwing the beast out the window. I didn't have industrial alcohol so I used vodka! Now the printer's happy and so am I. :-)

A thousand thanks to YOU!!!!! My printed sheets had faded horizontal lines about 1/8" wide and about 4" apart. Thought I'd have to pay for repairs or $400 for a new MFC. After watching your video, I looked at the roller and saw what appeared to be one permanent scratch about 1/8th inch wide the entire length of the roller. I used 91% alcohol (had it on hand) and soft toilet paper. It took me about an hour of really vigorous scrubbing to make it disappear. The 1st printed sheet looked twice as bad as before cleaning. I forgot to let printer warm up, so I let printer warm up about 1 minutes and printed again. Every sheet after that 1st one came out PERFECT!! You saved me a trip to repair shop who may have sold me a $400 printer. Jack, home business, Las Vegas.

OMG you are a life saver!! I was about to take my printer out back and shoot it but now it works perfectly!! Thank you so much for this video!!

[@jawary8474]

Not at all serious just the drum needed to be cleaned lol

[@wsshambaugh]

My issue ended up being that the little green tab wasn't all the way to the left, and pushing it back into place fixed the line of ink for me. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I was getting a black streak across the page. Also with multiple pages some pages had dark smears on the ends. I used your method to clean the drum and corona wire. Had to do it twice, but now all is well again!

[@own7723]

thankssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[@JWLC2012]

Worked excellent. Print looks like new (I had a black horizontal band across the page). I did purchase similar Isopropyl alcohol wipes from the local drug store ($3 for 100 in the first aid section) and used a bunch as they are tiny, but it rubbed off some of the caked on toner really well. It dried quickly and didn't scratch anything. Thanks!

Lines on my printouts have been an ongoing problem. I have a color printer which holds 4 cartridges. I would run through several test prints that seemed to help but not completely.

[@lifelife4469]

Can sanitizers do work instead of that alcohol liquid, thanks though for this

[@Jean78578]

I haven't tried that. They are mainly alcohol, so it should work.

[@BlondieSL]

@@Jean78578 NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! NO NO! Do NOT user "sanitizers". While they are "mostly" alcohol, they do contain several other chemicals, including scents that can totally damage the roller and other parts. if you don't have those alcohol pads, you could just use Isopropyl with a high alcohol content. Walmart sells one that is over 90%. Put some on a LINT-FREE cloths that is very smooth (no rough spots) and use that. Or just pick up a box of the alcohol pads, making sure to get the ones WITHOUT scents (perfumes). Hope that helps.

My printer leaves roller marks. Not a toner issue. Just roller marks..its done this since the day I bought it. It leaves like 3 lines that run all the way across the paper that you can only see at certain angles in light. Is that a common issue?

I just bought this Brother laser printer and it has left a heavy streak on the edge of the paper. I did a cleaning but it's still acting up. I really think it might be worth replacing the cartridge. What is your recommendation? This is supposed to take the TN 760 or the TN 730. Thank you.

[@Jean78578]

If it's still leaving streaks, I would try replacing the toner. Also, double check any other visible rollers for gunk, specs of debri, etc. If you get streaks when scanning, carefully clean the scanning glass.

God Bless you for this video!!!! I had no idea that I had to pay attention to that, and mine had lot of build up, now my printer is printing crystal clear pages with vivid ink, I'm so glad. I was so confused as to what the problem was I was even considering buying a new printer!

[@stinkycheese804]

Even if that didn't work, there was no need for a new printer, at most this issue is resolved buying a new cartridge, or in the case of some brother printers and other larger printers, the drum she cleaned is sold separately, so after a certain # of cartridges the drum will be worn out and need replaced. Just remember, if you buy some generic cartridge and it still prints poorly, might be the drum or vice versa which is why you need to stick to genuine OEM parts to have best results and they are matched for each other which some aftermarket, they try to push on consumers the same toner for different printers when the toner formulation each is supposed to use, is not quite the same.
