Do you mean 'pizza wheel' marks/lines?

If so there are some suggestions on 
http://www.conde.com/support/5.php?support=home
for removing them. Obviously the decision to do this would be yours...

If it's the rubber rollers leaving marks then have you used any fine
art paper recently: some of these can leave fine white dust on the
rollers which will need cleaning off with a cleaning sheet or other
methods.

The only other thing that comes to mind is if you've changed ink
limits or print settings recently such that too much ink is being
applied to the paper, so it's not having enough time to dry before
being fed through the output rollers.

I don't have a 1270, and my 1200 is long gone, but the only time I've
seen this recently is with my 2400, when feeding the same sheet
through the printer 2 or more times in an attempt to get several
calibration prints on one page. This obviously doesn't apply to your
situation.
