Anyone seen a laser printer that decides to fade off the end of pages? My Brother printer does that for maybe 1 page in 5.

It has plenty toner, the drum is clean, as is the corona wire. It's not a driver thing. I'm using good quality paper. I'm going to have to take this to The Printer Wizard, I just know it

@scruss this is towards the end of the page? Sounds to me like a timing issue. Not sure how exactly LED/laser printers work, but the drum is charged, then exposed with light, which destroys the charge? Then toner is applied and transferred and then baked?
So either the corona wire can’t hold up the voltage (broken high voltage driver?) or the toner doesn’t get properly baked to the paper? (Broken heater circuit?)
