SOURCE: Black line down center of paper while using manual feed

I had this issue once before on a Canon Multifunction printer and when I talked with Canon they said it was a malfunctioning scanning bed. They sent out a new one and I replaced it and had no further problems.

I am trying to print wedding invitations and a black line prints down the left side of the envelope. I have tried cleaning the printer, but it has not helped. Do you have any suggestions? My printer is...

Black printer ink in HP Printers may fail to be recognized by the printer. Sometimes the printer may accept to print with the black ink, but the printouts may have horizontal lines and very illegible letters. Even though you've run the cleaning utility on the printer, a manual cleaning of the print head should be carried out. In doing the manual cleaning, one should spray Windex heavily on paper towel and wipe off the surface of the print head.

When I fax it copies a black line is on the page. And when I copy from the top part it copies a black line. How can I fix that?

are you getting black lined copies while you are trying to send a fax or black lined images are obtained at the receiving end. Is there any problems while copying from platen glass. if it's ok, then check if there is any thing on the stream reading glass (the small sized glass plate meant for ADF) & clean it.

Black stripes on copies using a Canon D1120

Do you use the Doc. feeder? Try to make a copy off the copy board glass. Is the line there? Now make a copy with the adf. Is the line there? If so, you need to clean the small glass under the doc feeder. It looks like a glass ****, about a 1/2 inch wide. Clean it with windex and that should solve your line problem...

The screen says the Paten glass needs to be cleaned. What is the paten glass? Also when copies are made a black line is showing up on the edge of the copy.

Hi,
platen glass means that you need to clean the copy glass - glass where you put the originals for copying.
If you have an auto document cleaner there is also small glass on left side of "platen glass" wich is seen when you open the copy machine cover or dadf.

The black line is probably from dirt on copy glass, I pressume because courectour liquid ( most common ). use some stronger detergent or wd-40 to disolve the dirt and clean with glass detergent and dry it.

If you still have the black line try to print something from machine.If you do not have it on print its the copy glass problem - clean it - again.

Pls.rate

HP OfficeJet J5780 Vertical Black Line Prints when copying or scaning only. Cleaned rollers and changed black ink cartrigde. Still problem.

Have you tried cleaning the document feeders Scan Glass? (small glass under doc feeder ~ 1" by 9") Most times there is dirt spot on this glass, causing a shadow on scans and copies.
Try copying from the large glass by lifting doc feeder / platen cover and manually placing original. If no line copying or scanning manually from large glass, then small scan glass is deffenitely the culprit. Hope this helps.

ADF Reader, Black lines

Open ADF (automatic document feeder) cover and clean scan glass underneath. White out or post-it notes are notorious for leaving behind residue on glass when scanned. Any dot, spot or dirt will show up as a black line due to shadow effect.
