My printout has lines running through it when I make a copy using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder). What should I do?

  • Carefully clean the scanner glass and ADF. See below.

    Cleaning Your Product

    Close the output tray and front cover when you are not using the product to protect it from dust.

    3. Disconnect any connected cables.

    6. Use a soft, moist, lint-free cloth (microfiber is recommended) to clean the rollers and the interior of the ADF.

    7. Close the ADF cover.
    8. Open the document cover.
