SOURCE: Copying from Colored Paper

No..The exposure will only give you an overall lighter or darker copy.. Dave UK

SOURCE: Black line when scanning or copying

If the line only appears when the scanner is used & not when printing directly from the computer, you are correct in assuming the problem lies in the scanner assy. There should be mirrors attached to the scanner assy which will gather dust and cause copy/scan problems. Remove the glass & clean the mirrors with a DRY cotton cloth. Do not use any cleaning solution on the mirrors as they are sometimes treated & can be ruined if they come in contact with a cleaning solution. Use the dry cloth to wipe off the lens while you have it apart.Also clean both sides of the copy glass while you have it off. Reinstall glass & test.Cleaning the optics solves the problem most of the time. Good Luck!!

1. Unplug the power cord and the phone line from the wall.
2. Open the control panel.
3. Pull the roller lever forward, and then lift the white roller out of the All-In-One.
4. Note: The scan lens is located under the white roller.
