Recommendation
 If coloured lines appear at 30 mm intervals, identify the
colour causing the problem and replace the toner cartridge
that matches the colour of the line (see Replacing the toner
cartridges on page 52).
To identify the colour of the toner cartridge, visit
http://solutions.brother.com/ to view our FAQs and
troubleshooting tips.
 If coloured lines appear at 94 mm intervals, put a new drum
unit (see Replacing the drum unit on page 57).
 Make sure the media type setting in the driver matches the
type of paper you are using (see Acceptable paper and other
print media on page 28).
 Check the machine's environment. Conditions such as high
humidity can cause hollow print
(see Product Safety Guide).
 If the problem is not solved after printing a few pages,
foreign material, such as glue from a label, may be stuck on
the drum surface (see Cleaning the drum unit on page 85).
 Put in a new drum unit (see Replacing the drum unit
on page 57).
 Identify the colour causing the problem and put in a new
toner cartridge (see Replacing the toner cartridges
on page 52).
