These spots are repetitive, but because printout is cropped it is hard to find distance between them (interval).

It is possible to measure interval by measuring length of phrase "Cleaning Page".
Interval seems to be 136% in length if 100% is length of phrase "Cleaning Page".

And SM is very good friend:

There is one more method to find source of spots.
When paper is moving between toners and transport belt, printer have to be power down (with side switch).
It isn't 100% safe, but it can answer if spots are from fuser.

Wow, thanks!
I've read the SM, but never thought that by repetitive image was meaning what i see. I'll check the paper thoroughly and see if there is something wrong with any of the above parts, or all of them! Lets hope for one or two damaged parts, and not all of them.

Any idea as to where to find cheap non originall parts?

The main problem with non-original parts (fuser, transfer belt) is both their initial quality and overall life. To be worse, some of non-original are refurbished only, so they are already worn.

For example, 3-rd party repair in my country, uses non-original parts when selling off some used printers to home users.
But for intensive office use, they recommend original parts, especially good quality fuser grease.
