Copy comes out with a black shadow and lines all over the page?

SHARP AR-163 PHOTOCOPIER

I've just moved my copier which was working fine until I moved it. Since then, when I try tp copy, it comes out with black/grey shadow accross the page. I,ve tried cleaning paper and copying a blank page but the results are the same.

I,ve copied approximately 200 blank pages to see if it would clear, but it hasn't.

Can you help please.

when you move any photocopier it should be kept level, ideally at least 2 people should carry it, the toner /developer should be removed. If you lift the machine by yourself you automatically tip the machine to make it easier to carry, when you do this you spill toner/developer inside the machine, causing all sorts of problems, such as quality, in extreme cases the copiers can be written off due to the damage by the ingression of toner/developer.

the main charge is soiled and needs cleaning, it is situated at the drum
