I've just fixed lines on a Xerox Docuprint CP205 which doesn't have user serviceable drum units, or belt unit. The toner powder mess is a symptom, not the problem. The problem is the wiper seal/waste toner transport isn't working. I took a business card and raked the caked on waste toner from the wiper seal for the transfer belt, accessed via the rear door. Wear a mask and vacume the mess. Get another similar printer and tear it apart to understand your problem. This is what I did, there is nothing listed in the service manual about cleaning the wiper. The job only took a few mins and no special tools or disassembly required.
Oh....I also found that there is a little rubber roller that rubs against the film roller. If you keep getting new lines, the rubber roller has stuff on it...you can scrunch up the tissue and rub on that roller and remove that extra toner.
I worked for Xerox for six years and yes it sounded like the drum module was bad, there are cleaning blades for every pass or print sitting around or humidity may have caused toner to stick to the blades, blue did clean up so black may have eventually. This part is a consumable and has a life expectancy. Would be interesting to see a consumables print page to see life left. In warranty they normally would have sent you a new drum cartridge. Before Xerox I worked for hp and currently do. I may be able to offer help from time to time. There is a measurement to show if it may be a fuser or drum roller that is at issue although you can normally see it in plain sight. Transfer belt issues might happen every other page due to it's length being a belt but where there is only a transfer roller the distance is also measurable. I hadn't listened to the end but no this is not firmware nor an electrical issue, yes rollers will make a perfect defect every time.

@@UltimateDIY This was a consumer unit sold by Xerox; who made this print engine I cannot remember. What I do remember was changing out these drum units and the toner dispensers the most. Once in a great while a feed issue which was complete disassembly to complete the repair. As with a lot of hp printers they are made by Canon but not all. Xerox falls under the same catagory as this Dell engine is exactly the same as Xerox. I have service manuals for this model but I would have to dig for them in my archive. If you did a model number search on the Dell with something about Xerox you would find a manual out there on the web. Most manuals are out there on the web even for hp's enterprise models offered by hp. Used to be they were held back for internal use only but I have found they are putting them out for everyone. I imagine the theory would be parts sales for those in the know.
@@UltimateDIY Printers are produced for many brand names; although even though they are exact copies it is important to get drivers for the different brands respectfully. Let me know when you come across a Xerox solid ink printer; cool printer but it also had it's issues. it's about finding who make the engines(Tectonics invented the solid ink printer but Xerox bought them). With laptops and computers it is different story completely; they are for the most part designed by hp and others (Dell for example) and manufactured in China.. Currently I work on any hp laptop on the market; desktop and the Z series servers. hp did split into two different companies about two years ago. I work for hpi (Hewlett Packard Incorporated) and then there is now hpe (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) Life on planet Earth will always be interesting.. :) ..
I was so locked in on this video since I have an HP5100TN that suddenly started printing many horizontal lines across the page and the toner was weak. This started after I had issues with the paper pickup rollers/pads and installed a maintenance kit with rollers, pads, and transfer roller. The first 3 prints were fine, and then the lines showed up. Most if not all of my test prints are from the printer itself. I was so hoping to find the cause of this here. I do appreciate the in depth exploration as to the cause.

Great. Thank you for this info 👍🏻

Perfect 👍🏻

Even more info. Had no idea this guys don't make their own printers.

Indeed it will be and probably it's better this way so us, tech people, don't get bored :)
Let me save ya'll 30 mintues, "the lines are here to stay"
In my case, yes, for others maybe not. But let them buy a new printer, it's cheaper than 30 minutes.
The black toner cartridge has gone bad. The printer did sit too long unplugged and the damage to the rollers is permanent and cannot be fixed.
p/n for blades and opc drum could be useful, do we have them?
Nope, we don't have them...

If you ever find out the exact cause, please post it here, so we could help others. Thank you.
I got a new toner and it's showing 1 thick band with many lines going across after a few pages come out, the first few are always clean.
Probably "doctor blade" has an issue 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you so much. This was a great tutorial and I completely fixed my printer streaks on my work printer.
Awesome! Glad my video helped :)
Many thanks for sharing. My DELL 1720dn printer has black lines on the left and right sides. How do I get rid of them?
Sorry, but I don't know more than I already said in the video.
thanks it did work i had to clean every thing inside but now it's all good
Welcome! ✌🏼
Well, that’s 21 minutes of my life shot to hell.
It was very helpful 👍
Glad my video helped 😊
DPR could be Digital Print Resources
Possibly
Almost like it is printing to a form of sticky labels. Time for Sherlock Holmes.
I actually wish it did not have a warranty, so I could take it appart :))
