When I print, marks or stains appears on the left, right or both sides of the page.  The mark consistently repeats vertically down the printed page. What is the cause of this problem? How can I fix this problem? 

This could be caused by excess lubricant on the toner cartridge.

Print or feed up to 10 sheets of paper through the printer to eliminate the marks or stains.
