Laserjet 4050n - Ghost Text on Left Edge

[ElijahBaley]

Hi

I am getting a faint repeating of the text about a quarter page down at the left edge of each sheet.

Each page seems to ghost it own image on that left edge.

Does anyone know what causes this?

Thanks for your help,

First thing I would try is a different toner
cartridge.

I have changed the toner cartridge, and cleaned the roller located under the toner carteridge near the fuser.

Any other ideas?

Go to the HP website at

and do a search
for "laserjet ghost images" and you will find a
number of articles that may be relevant.

On the laser jet products of HPs the ghost image you are seeing is usually the fuser. If you look at the fuser roller there will probably be an area that is discolored with something burnt on. Unfortunatly this cannot be cleaned and the fuser must be replaced.

For remanufactured fusers call Parts Now @ 1(800)886-6688

Most likely a damaged Transfer Roller.
