Strange Marking on Printer (SP-540v)

[jastie]

Can any one identify why these markings are showing up at the same far right location, Material independent.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

something on your pinch wheel perhaps?

Nope... Check out the pinch roller, it's now where near the markings



Good guess... but out of that area.

Thank you

try to use another roll of media, and if it still the same, it could be some dust or dirt on your linear encoder.
clean it with a lint free cloth + water, and see if it improves.

+1 to kff, i would say endcoder strip problem, i had pinch roller marks before (that was a temperature problem).

Got it.... It was the linear encoder.

I clean it a week ago but guess it was still dirty.

Thank you for all your help
