- Missing colors
- Faded lines
Possible Causes
- Dirty scanner glass
- Scratched drum (Laser)

Step-by-Step Fix
1
Clean Scanner Glass
If copying, a tiny speck on the glass causes a line down the whole page.
2
Replace Toner/Drum
For laser printers, a scratched drum will leave a repeating mark.
3
Align Printheads
Use the alignment tool in the printer settings to fix horizontal shifts.
When to See a Technician
Repeating spots at regular intervals usually indicate a dirty roller or damaged drum.
