SOURCE: black line on my fax copies!

You sure can - the issue is that there is something on the thin strip of glass where the copy goes through from the feeder at the top - follow these directions and you should clear the problem right up.

SOURCE: Single black line down center of newly copied page when using Auto feeder to copy

I had this same problem but after while it went away - so my solution would be to just keep using it, and perhaps it will solve itself.

SOURCE: Lines print on copies when put through the scanner. But do not appear on copies when placed on the glass

You may also want to check if the ADF is dirty or contaminated with dust or hair. Here's a link with some information about how to clean the scanner:

SOURCE: thick line when goes throught auto feeder

The automatic feeder passes the page over the scanner, the scanner does move, so even a small mark (often find it is correction fluid) will effect the whole page, check the glass on the left side of the scanner for any sort of mark

SCX 4826FN everything that goe in through the top feeder (scans, copies, faxes) comes out with a solid vertical black line on the paper. All other printing jobs that pull paper from the tray are ok. It...

This black line sounds like it is definately coming from the ADF scanner glass. This is the thinner strip of glass that is located just to the left of the large original glass. You can verify this by making a copy from the large glass instead of using the feeder on top. If the copy comes out clean then it is definately the scanner glass. Just clean the glass well with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. This glass is only used when copying/scanning using the top automatic feeder
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

Copying from upper tray - line on the copy - good copy but has a solid thin line, about the size of the roller.. -- copying from glass is fine..--if it is the roller ! how do I clean upper roller and etc....

hello, you said this was a copy, have you tried making copy from the glass, and not thru the doc feed, just to see if the output us the same. if not, open up the doc feed area, and clean the **** glass. now if your prints from the computer are the same as the copies, then its possible that the problem is pressure rollers above the ashpalt grey platten roller. alittle harder to clean but can be cleaned off.

Black vertical lines on copies and scans from auto

This means the read area is dirty. Clean the glass with glass or lens cleaner at the area where you place the head of the paper if you wanted to lift the cover and scan a page without the autofeeder. There may be white out or toner stuck to the glass. This can be removed with a glass blade.
This answer assumes that prints from the computer are fine...

Getting a black strip in copy mode on X6575 lexmark printer. No line in print or test mode

Most likely a page was scanned with 'white out' (Liquid Paper), still wet on the page. As the page feeds over the scanner, (a narrow strip of glass that runs across the width of the page along the feed path) the wet liquid paper comes off on the glass as a thin line and dries. Thereafter, when copying, the scanner light does not go through the liquid paper streak and the result when printed is a thin vertical line that runs the full length of the page.

If this is your problem: follow the path that the paper travels when sending a fax or making a copy, until you find the scanner (narrow glass strip). Take a clean, soft cloth and a small amount of methylated spirit (or white spirit) and remove the now dried Liquid Paper from the glass. Clean the whole strip ensuring that the glass is left clean and dry.

I have a solid black line across my copies when I feed a document thru the document feeder. Have cleaned the small glass strip and it doesn't go away. What could cause it?

Has to be from that glass. Tell you what to do. Take the two phillips screws out of the bracket that holds it. One on each side. Lift the glass out and set it on a piece of white paper and see whats there. Sometimes it takes that to see exactly whats there.
It may also be on the bottom of the glass. The only place that can come from if its only when using the feeder is that glass.

Our HP laserjet M1522n has a vertical line going through the paper when using the top feed. the line doesn't appear on copies made thru the computer or on the flatbed, only thru the self feed. any one??...

If you open your "self feed" cover, you should be able to see the scan glass that originals pass over to copy. Clean that glass thoroughly. There is some dirt or whiteout (liquid paper) on it which causes the shadow or line on copies. Let me know.

Paper feeder is not straight

Push the copy button with the cover up and no paper on the glass. Is the light bar straight up and down, or is it crooked? I can't imagine how paper could go thru the machine crooked, but check it out if you can. If the paper is too thin, it may not be getting grabbed by the rollers right.

Black lines on copies when run thru fax feeder

There is a thin strip of glass that you will see when you lift the top feeder. There is most likely white-out on it.

When you use the top feeder, it doesn't use the large glass, it only 'rolls' the original document over this small strip of glass.
