879536 2010-04-24 03:42:00 I have a HL2040. Of recent weeks it has been putting a dark smudge down the left hand side of the A4 page, it is not continuous, so may be associated with a drum or roller. It is ok with A5. I have cleaned the drum and the scanner window with no improvement. At the rear of the machine there is a red sponge roller, that has a black mark on it in about the right place. How should I clean this, and what with?

I am obviously reluctant to have the machine cleaned as this would probably cost much the same as a new machine. An example, a new drum costs about $10 more than I can buy a new printer for!

Can you tell us the correct model number?
Maybe this'll help

I've been told meths & white board cleaner have had no effect trying to remove it.
Re scanner window.
From the manual, it's in the front, somewhere near the toner cartridge.
