Can anyone tell me why there is a black vertical strip on paper when I use the copier? I've had this printer for almost three years.

It does not happen to me. I have no problems. Try and change the cartridge maybe it's bad.

It should not have happened, two things that can cause this if its not the printer, 1st the paper could be expired for very long time or 2nd the paper might be put in the wrong side up.

I already have had this printer for appro 10 yrs. Has been very good & reliable until now. Was having the same problem. Found new driver. Added cartridge. Added paper (of course). No paper stuck in the feed area. Finally talked to a tech that I trusted - & he told me that this printer was past it's lifespan. So I have bought a new one - sometimes you just have no choice. You could take it in somewhere - or have someone out, but it would probably cost more than the printer. Sorry.

I have it for about a year and don't have any problems. I am not a heavy user though. Some times I don't use the printer for a couple of weeks. But when I use it after that gap, it prints fine. I have not kept track of the total pages I have printed.

You should take paper sticking side of toner off or cut it first. I fixed same problem by doing this.

This is not normal in my experience. I've had the printer for more than a year and have never experienced the situation you describe. No idea what it indicates specifically but it's not normal. I suggest you contact Lexmark customer service. Perhaps they will have some idea of the source of the problem.

Hello Bansheer Briar, Thank you for your email. Usually it does mean that you need to change the toner. As far as the drum is concern, it usually leaves black stripes on the paper. For a better information, Please contact Brother support. Regards

I have had problems with the black banding unless I print it as photo quality which ends up using more ink. So far two has exhibited this behaviour.

Hi Cathy, I didn't have this exact problem with the printer but here is how I have fixed the problem in the past. It is usually from a dry atmosphere. Try buying a smoother higher quality paper. You can keep the paper in an area where the air is more moist and this may help. The other remedy is to take a sheet of Bounce and tape it (all four side) to the bottom of the paper drawer and if you open the back find an area on the door and tape a sheet there. Hope this works for you.Jeff

Plug the old one back in and see if everything works like it's supposed to. That will tell you if it's a problem with the cartridge. Next step would be to try the other, new cartridge you got and see if it causes the paper jam alert. The other resource to utilize is the printer manufacturer. Ask a tech rep.

I have the same problem. I am forever buying new black. The color lasts a bit longer. I keep an extra black around all the time. I bought a Kodak printer when my old HP died. I wish I had never made that purchase. $$ $$ $$....

I have not had a problem with paper jamming with this copier, I own two of them. But I took note that at the very outset, both copiers were guilty of crumpling the edge of documents being fed. I detected that aligning the documents edge to the right side of the feeder eliminated that problem. Overall, the copier is easy to use, time saving, copy & printing quality is great, one or two instances of paper jamming over a two months period which I consider to be normal. Hope I was able to assist.

It is just a copier. It has been great for me, been a real workhorse for almost two years and now the fuser has gone out. That is expensive to replace and I might just buy a new machine. When I do some research on why the fuser went I will decide whether to purchase another of the same machine.

This seems to be an on going problem with this printer. There is a solution, if you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty. Just be careful removing the electrode connectors to the print head, I jacked mine up and made the printer unusable. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Issues-Troubleshooting/My-Officejet-4620-will-not-print-the-black-ink/td-p/2235905
