Phaser 6180mfp patterns while printing in color

[moekris]

I am having the same issue with my Xerox 6180 printer. The red dots are all over the page at RANDOM. No fixed distance like others have (1.18"). I was told to clean the lens. I did. I still have the same issue only for pages that have text in color (even just one word in color) , but not for pages with all black text.

Why is this happening?

Any help would be welcomed

Hi moekris,

Try to replace the magenta toner/drum cartridge.
