Phaser 6500 color toner not adhering to paper

[Chris_LSU]

I have a Phaser 6500 with around 6550 total sheets printed so far and it is starting to give me some print quality issues.  It appears that the toner is not adhering properly.  Below is an example:

You can see that toner did not adhere in the upper part middle but ended up adhering lower in the image.  Any idea what is causing this?  I hopefully should not have to change fuser or imaging unit after 6550 pages.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hey you!

Is it a repeating defect with the exact same measurements between eachother every time?

If so, could you measure the distance?

Best Regards

Kimzi
