MECH-CORONA-WIRE
Brother · MFC-L2750DW 36 ppm Wireless Mono Laser All-in-One with NFC, Duplex Scan, and Fax
Printed pages show vertical black or white lines running the length of the page. This is often caused by contamination or damage to the corona wire inside the drum unit. The corona wire charges the drum surface and is critical for proper toner transfer. Open the front cover, remove the drum+toner assembly, and look for the green or blue cleaning tab on the drum unit. Slide this tab from left to right and back several times to clean the corona wire. Make sure the tab returns to its home position (usually the left side) before reinstalling — if left in the middle, it will block the corona wire and cause a blank stripe. If vertical lines persist after cleaning the corona wire, the drum surface itself may be scratched or worn and the drum unit should be replaced.
