Vertical black lines down middle of page

Hi folks,
I have an LaserJet 4250n that's putting vertical light black smudges/lines down the center of my pages. It's all the way down, but it gets lighter at certain points and picks back up again. I've tried replacing the toner cartridge and cleaning the rollers, to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
James

Hi James,
I am a printer technician for HP in Australia and a full time employee. I look after many printers including this one.
Lines down the page can be caused by a few things - depending on what the line looks like.
If it is a smudged dirty streaky mark continously down the page, you migh have a dirty fuser - it may have been picking up toner and it has built up and then put it back down on the paper.
A thin defined black line might be a scratched drum or developer - the laser might be refracting and drawing the defect onto the drum.
Blank or white lines could be something stopping the toner from getting to the paper - transfer roller under the toner might have something stuck on it.
A repeated mark or defect could also be a dirty fuser - glue or wax from envelopes and labels could do this.
Try swapping the toner with another to test - borrow one if you can.
Run 3 or 4 cleaning pages - in the menu, configure device, print quality menu, create/process cleaning page.
Remove the fuser - back door comes off, little blue clips, pull it. out - rotate using the green knob and you might be able to gently remove something stuck in it.
If you can get to another 4250 or 4350 you could borrow the fuser and find out.
For this machine, I find worn out fusers and dirty printers are most commonly showing these symptoms. Next common is low quality after market cartridges.
Hope I can help you here

Ipad 2 front camera has a blurry black line down the middle

Evening,
My Ipad 2 front camera has a blurry black line down the middle, tried resetting but still there. back camera is fine.
Any ideas ???

Hello AndyPharris,
It sounds like you're seeing an unexpected black line when you take photos with your rear camera. I would next backup the iPad to your iTunes library:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it from your backup with this article as a new device to test the issue:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If it works, restore from your backup and verify it still works. If the issue persists when you restore as new, I would seek service for your device with this page:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Where'd that black line down the middle come from?

I have a black line down the middle of each page of a template that is visible in the PDF Export. Since this is a magazine template, is it supposed to be there?
Thx.
Paul

Okay, as long as it's okay that it shows up in the PDF export.
Thx.

Black line down middle of copies

We have a HP 6480 all in one that prints fine but when we make copies it prints a black line down th middle of the copy? I have cleaned the glass and rollers outside and in. what else can I do??

Hi ChrisCanon,
The lines on copies that you are experiencing is a result of the scan glass being dirty or scratched. The scan glass that the printer uses when scanning from the ADF is located to the left of the larger glass area (platen) when you open the cover. It is the smaller glass strip on the left hand side of the unit.
Spray some glass cleaner on a paper towel and then clean the smaller glass area. Once cleaned, try scanning from the ADF again.

Thin horizontal black line at BOTTOM of page when scan on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

I owned an HP Officejet Pro 8500 and scanning was perfect. I recently purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
When I scan from the HP 8600 auto document feeder, I get a thin (several pixel wide) black line along the bottom edge of the resulting scan. This line will sometimes be slighly crooked or only appear across half the page, in which case it tends to get thicker toward the edge of the page). I believe this line is an artifact from scanning the very bottom edge of the oroginal document. I think it is showing where the bottom edge of the page was when scanned. If the document is a little skewed, then the black line at the bottom will be a little crooked, probably following the edge of the page. This problem is consistent, and repeatable. It happens in both "Scan To E-mail" mode and "Scan To Network Folder" mode.
When I scan from the flat bed, I get a very narrow black line along the very top edge of the resulting scan, but the bottom appears fine (although I've not tested this extensively).
These thin black lines did not occur when scanning from the HP 8500.
I am wondering if there is a setting to adjust this, or if it is a firmware difference between printers that needs debugging.

I find it interesting that the issue happens across both printers. This is what leads me to believe this is something with the software/connection with the PC. One thing I will note is that you mentioned above using Adobe Reader 10.1.6. The latest version of Adobe Reader is 11.0.02. I would advise removing your current version of Adobe Reader and install the latest version.
I am not sure if this will fix the issue as you mentioned the line comes across in jpeg and other scanning styles. Do you possibly have another PC you could try setting up a connection with quickly and attempting a scan? This would be another way to ensure if the issue is coming from the printer or a connection/software issue.
I would like to make sure the issue is coming from the scanners on these printers before returning the printers as I would hate for you to get another model printer and the issue remain with this printer as well. However, I will note that the Laserjet Pro 200 is a nice series printer from my experience. I have used the Laserjet Pro 200 black and white only edition, the MFP, and the TopShot edition where I am located.

BIG BLACK LINE IN MIDDLE OF PAGE AFTER CONVERSION

I just subscribed; converted a pdf to docx.
The circles on the original came out as half-circles and arcs.
There is a large thick black line in the middle of the page.
This is a form I purchased from Natural Forms.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi suea64304779,
I'm not familiar with Natural Forms, but it may be that the PDF isn't written to spec, which could explain the quality of the conversion.

Undefined black line vertically on printed page

A narrow undefined line appears about two inches from the left edge of a page (and not totally consistent in how dark it is. Very faint if no print on the page.   The more text the more noticable it appears.
Additionally -- if there is heavy toner in that area it appears to remove the toner leaving a white but dirty narrow line.   But if it's just regular printed text it does *not* score thru a letter, it just appears as this dirty line in the background.
It's not the cartridge.     Can't see anything inside the printer that looks likely.

Hello sam_k, welcome to the forums
I understand you are noticing a black line. Please let me know some more information and I will certainly look into this for you!
1. Which Operating System you are running:
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
2. What is your printers Model Number:
How Do I Find My Model Number?
3. Do you noticed the black line when you print, scan, copy, or fax?
4. How is your printer connected to your PC? Ethernet, wireless or USB?
In the meantime, try Resetting the Printer and plug the printer in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Thank you! Have a great day

Black line Down Center of Screen

Alright guys see if you can figure this one out.
I have a MBP I have a black line directly down the center the the screen just under a quarter inch wide. It has been there for a while now but I was trying to fix it today. At times the line can get a bit smaller or larger and rarely it will go away...... I opened it up and unplugged the LVDS cable from the logic board and the entire lcd turned white but once i plugged it back in the lines retured. Not sure if this is an LCD problem or LVDS cable problem. I will add more detail if necessary but this is the start.

Do you see the line while the startup of the computer? Do you see the line when starting from CD/DVD?

1099 2010 Forms Print with heavy black line down the right hand side

Greetings,
When we print the 1099 2010 Mscellaneous Income form we have this heavy black line that goes down the right hand side of the margin. We already applied all notes for 2010, including the latest one that had the margin correction published on 1/21/2011.
Anyw

Ours print that way, too. The black line is in the 1099MISC_2010.bmp image that SAP provided in the note. The image is used as the background for the forms.

IPad 3 - black line down left-side of screen

My new iPad has dark thin line down left-side of screen.
Any ideas why this appears?
Screen appears fine apart from this line.

take it to your local apple store and have them take a look at it. You probably want to make an appointment first.

How to have a line down middle of page betw 2 columns but...

for some graphics, the graphics flow over the two columns. In setting up a template, how to make that line be flexible so that when there is a graphic that takes up more space, the graphic has an amount of white space around it..(would that be an object style). Ok, would you put the line on the master page?

If you are referring to text wrap when you say outset, then it will push the text in the main frame out of the way, but it won't push the rule or leave a gap next to it. The only way to do that is to adjust the rule or hide it with something (like the [Paper] stroke).
If the caption frame is going to be below the image, this gets more complicated, especially if the image isn't always at the top of the page. About the best you can do for that is to apply the same stroke to both the image and caption frame, and have them overlap or touch, which means you can have spacing between the two from the width of the stroke to twice the width, but not more. You'll also need to fill the caption frame with paper to knock out the rule.
If the image group will always completely cover one end or the other of the rule you can pay with different width strokes for the two frames.
It might be best to put a grouped image/caption frame in a library, already styled, or leave one on the pasteboard somewhere.
