m102a
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I have recently replaced the drum and PCR due to smudges on the roller and scratches on the drum, but the following problem still exists. I have tried 3 different toner cartridges but they printed similar results.

The middle part of the printed area is way too dark and smudgy, some letters looked like the toner leaked.

 

Any answer/help is appreciated, thank you

I suspect you may have a bad transfer roller. You might try to carefully clean it by wiping it with a lint-free cloth, but it may need to be replaced. How many prints are on the printer?
