it usually only takes 4 or 5 explanations before I understand something.... Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me again, I was taking "image' the wrong way obviouisly. Now I understand what you mean. Sigh, sometimes I give myself a headache.
Doing as you instructed it does show that the toner cartridge is the problem as there is already two light stripes visible before it hits the fuser.
I have cleaned the toner roller but of course that is just a quick fix, I obviously just need a new toner cartridge.
Thanks for the help, even if it took me a bit to get it.
