Clean transfer corona and wire. Install new wire if more than 70k feet on it. |

The very first versions of firmware would cause a faint gray line 50mm from the trailing edge, version K105x08a addressed that and even that is a very old version. As in any type of print quality issue, you always do the PM as recommended and then see if the problem is still there.
NOTE: also check the Regulation Roller pressure and the Clean Roller bias contact
if this does occur! |

Gray line is only when copying & scanning, fine printing.
After a good cleaning , replacing all corona wires & reg roll pressure adj line seems fainter. I paid special attention to cleaing the fiber optics & rollers on under side of scanner.
Anything else I can check or adj for scanning leaving a faint gray line on trailing edge?
Machine has newer serial # and has updated firmware (new style home screen), also new style T/S corona.
Thanks again for the help |

The only other thing that comes to mind if if you have watched the paper travel through the machine by removing the right cover and shining a flashlight into the side of the frame. It is possible that you may be getting a large buckle towards the trail edge of the prints that could cause some sort of line. If the paper is buckling too much you may have to adjust fuser speed higher. |

Wait, if I'm reading this correctly, if you send a print to the printer, it prints fine. If you make a copy or scan to file, then the gray line is apparent, correct? If you scan to file, does the gray also show up in the image file? If everything you are sending through the printer via network is printing fine and everything you are putting through the scanner has the gray line, I would suspect the scanner or your original, not the printer.
Try changing your quality settings to lighter, your scanner might be picking up shadow images. OR were your originals folded, crinkled, creased or dirty? That can cause the scanner to pick up that stuff as shadow, which would look like a gray image. If it's going across the 36" paper, was your original folded or some other way damaged at that location that the scanner might be picking it up as shadow. I keep saying shadow and lighten your quality setting because I've seen this so many times before. |
