Eliminate lines or streaks when using the document feeder

If lines or streaks appear on copied or scanned documents when using the document feeder, use the procedure below to clean debris from the document feeder glass. Debris can include dust, paper or toner dust, residue from sticky note adhesive, correction fluid or tape, ink, fingerprints, and more.

1.Open the scanner lid.

2.Locate the one-inch strip of glass to the left of the main scanner flatbed glass, and then use a soft, lint- free cloth moistened with water to clean the glass strip.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, ammonia, ethyl alcohol, or carbon tetrachloride on any part of the printer; these can damage the printer. Do not place liquids directly on the glass or platen. They might seep and damage the printer.

3.On the underside of the scanner lid above the strip of glass, use a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water to clean the upper plastic strip.
