Printer is the Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M281fdw. I am getting a bar vertical bar down the left side of the prints. It shows up about a 1/4 inch from the side of the page. Some times the bar is solid and sometimes its faded.

Print out a cleaning page.
Will the printout be better?

But things are looking a little better!
So start the cleaning page again.

The Cleaning pages look good. But when I print the demo page after the marks come right back

HP Recommended

Now print:

  1. cleaning page again
  2. start a calibration
  3. print a diagnostic
  4. print a supplies status page

please exactly in this order

 

the supplies status page upload here, click on the icon "Insert photos", "Set format = Large", original size at least 200 KB.

 

Kind Regards
