Is there any way to clean up this line?

It comes out on regular copies, not only labels.

I have tried looking inside but did not see anything obvious.

 

Any thoughts appreciated.  We are a 501(c)(3) and will only replace if necessary.

Thank you.

Thank you, SandyTechy20

 

I tried your suggestion and the plain paper came out clean BUT I tried printing a sheet of the labels pictured and we still have the problem.

 

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks,
