Clean the glass

Glass that is dirty from fingerprints, smudges, hair, and dust on the main glass surface slows down performance and affects the accuracy of features such as Fit to Page.

In addition to the main glass surface, you might also need to clean the small glass strip inside the automatic document feeder. Streaks can occur if the glass strip inside the automatic document feeder is dirty.
