Hi,
When the paper is fed through Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) it is scanned before copy or fax. The scanner is fixed type and is located just below the ADF.
The lines are due to dirty scanner mirror. The printer/ scanner design is based Sheet-Fed Scanner. Open/Lift the Control Panel (scanner top )(by pulling it up from front - the area from where the paper to scan comes out). Look out for the horizontal mirror and use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to gently clean the scanner mirror, rollers etc. and enjoy clear scanning and copying! For example see the below picture: -

Inspect for any tron pieces of paper dirt etc.DONT USE PAPER, CHEMICALS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTH as it may damage the parts.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

Copier leaves a black line when printing through the top paper feeder. Ok coping from the flatbed
When copying from the feeder the page is fed across a fixed point at the head of the flatbed. Any dirt etc on the glass at this point can present as a dark line running vertically down the printed page. When copying from the flatbed, the scan head is moved down the page so any dirt on the glass will only appear as specs. Try cleaning the glass, especially at the head of the flatbed where the feeder is loading the page to be copied.

Copies have a straight thin line on them when printed from the feeder.
The ink head for the ink cartridge is likely to have been scratched by something that was on top of another piece of paper that went in. When this happens the solution is usually to replace the ink cartridge, however if it is possible you may remove it and try to see if there are any small objects jammed against it (such as tiny pieces of paper or bits of dust).

I have a sharp ar-bc 260 have perfect black lines on copies only copy mode print mode is fine
Clean all your glass including the thin strip on the left side that handles scanning for the doc feeder. Run copies both off the glass and the doc feeder. If the line is still there then take off the glass, dust the inside scan cavity and dust your 3 mirrors with a new, lint free rag. Make sure your glass is completely clean before you put it back on.

Facing copying problem from scanning section
Although you didn't specify the scanner model, this solution should work.

If the scanner has a top feeder, open it.

You will see a thin strip of glass, either to the left, or right of the large scanner glass.

There is most likely a small spec of ink, white out, etc on it.

Clean the strip glass with rubbing alcohol and the line should go away.

Problem while copying
O.K. guys,

the problem is with the smaller glass on the left.
Lift the top and look at the small glass on the left, is there a dot, whiteout, dirt etc... on there? that is what's making your lines. clean with alcohol or mild cleanser.
