Spot on drum - Kyocera ECOSYS P5026cdw

[mlrichardson]

There is a spot - probably dirt or something akin - about 1/8 inch in diameter that keeps printing on anything that comes out of the printer. Its regularity of appearing - about every 3 inches vertically and 6-3/4 inches from the left edge pretty much assures it's something on the drum. Is there anything I can do to clear this, or should I take it in to the dealer to clear? Considering its location, I can ignore it most of the time, but I might as well get it taken care of.

That for sure sounds like something is off about your drum or roller, it seems like something has been dragged along the printer. It might be best to try running a cleaning cycle on the printer first. However if the spot is precisely in the same place on the paper every time it could mean your drum needs to be cleaned and/or replaced.
