Cleaning the Scanning Area
Wipe the scanning area (shaded area) with a clean, soft, lint free cloth moistened
with water. Then wipe the area with a clean, soft, dry, lint free cloth.
Cleaning the Read Area of the Platen Glass
Black lines may appear in copies (as shown in the illustration below) when the
ADF is used to feed documents. This is caused by paste, ink, correction fluid, or
other foreign matter in the read area (between
and ) of the platen
glass. Use a clean soft cloth to wipe the read area clean. Take particular care to
clean at the locations where the black lines are appearing on copies.
If you have trouble getting the glass clean, wipe the area with a cloth moistened
with water or a mild neutral detergent, and then wipe the glass dry with another
cloth.
Paste, ink, correction fluid, and other foreign matter can soil the platen glass when
you send a document through the ADF while the paste, ink, or correction fluid on the
original is still wet. This is what causes black lines on copies. Whenever you load a
document in the ADF, always check to make sure that any paste, ink, or correction
fluid on the document is completely dry.
