• Any dirt or material on the scanning glasses will
cause spots or lines to appear on copies (and on
transmitted faxes and scanned images). Clean the
scanning glasses as explained on page 137.

original is placed face up in the feeder.
• If you are using the document glass, make sure the
original is placed face down on the glass.
