I guess you talk about Ricoh MP 1800.
The Black lines on the bottom appear because the copier has made more than 60,000 prints or more if new.
If it's bought used, than it has made 60,000 or more prints from the last change of the drum and the drum cleaning blade. For the print to be clean again, it will need to be changed the drum and drum cleaning blade. This copier as all other copiers have parts that have a yield.

Try this. Lift the lid to expose the top glass. To the left of the main glass panel, you will see a narrow glass strip. Clean this strip using a soft cloth or sponge moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner, then dry it off with a dry chaois cloth or cellulose sponge. A.
SOURCE: My Ricoh Aficio MP 161 said to add toner but still won't copy
Check your old toner bottle and make sure the plastic "cap" is still in the bottle. These machines have an occaisional problem with the caps coming off (not the black screw off cap but the semi clear cap under the black screw off cap) and staying inside the black plastic "cup" that you insert the toner into. If the cap is missing it may be stuck inside this cup. If the cap is still in your old cartridge then try opening/closing the front door and letting the machine cycle to see if the toner light goes out. May have to do this several times. Had one customer just yesrday have to do this to clear the toner light after adding toner.
Good Luck.
SOURCE: How do I clean or replace the drum on a Ricoh
The drum unit on these models is a complete replacement unit. the drum can only be cleaned by removing the unit and then there are some screws to be taken out. two on the back plat and two on the front. if you take these cover plates of the unit will split and you can remove the drum(Blue roller) and under neath there is a charge roller as well that can be cleaned.. only use water on the black cahrge roller and gently rub with a cloth till clean. The drum with a very soft cloth and some liquid brasso may clean it up or get rid of the scratch lines but if they are too worn the drum needs replacing. you can clean the scanner glass and the mirrors underneath here as well.B0392201 is the part number for the Drum unit which comes as a complete unit. you may need to purchase the developer for the drum init as well B0399640 is the part number for this. hope this helps >>>A

Toner supply is controlled with readings from TD sensor on the developing unit
and the I.D sensor above the drum by default.
These are low cost parts and easy to change.
(The TD sensor on this model have been known to fluctuate back and forth
by a fair margin so is a good place to start).
You could also try stripping down and cleaning out the toner hopper.
Check the four mylars are present and the grabber is opening wide enough
to grab the toner bottle nozzle successfully.
Check the toner hopper exit slider is opening fully when the PCU is
inserted.
I had one of these 'add toner' faults today and it was the toner hopper
all clogged up inside.
The side bit where the toner drops down had hardened clumps of toner
stuck around the side entrance mylar and the exit hole.
Check also the toner motor. I have seen these fail. Run
simulation output check for toner motor. I would remove the toner supply
unit and hold the motor when you run this simulation. Sometimes the motor
turns but does not have enough torgue to turn the toner supply unit.

check the door contacts and the contacts on the transfer unit these need to be clean also
