Open up the document feeder and clean the scanner glass. If the streak is larger than 1/4 " wide, you have a bad scanner block.

dont concentrate on the printer this is a scanner problem

try cleaning the rollers with water in the feeder at the top check the glass too too see if it's dirty

If you lift up the lid on your scanning device you will notice a glass strip about 1 inch thick and then the large area of glass used for flatbed scanning. The 1 inch strip is used for ADF scanning. Because your papper is moving across the glass strip, any dot, smudge or scratch will affect your scanning and cause verticial lines down the page. Sometimes the dot is not visible to the eye. Get some glass cleaner that has alcohol in it and thoroughly clean the glass strip and it should solve your problem. If it turns out to be a scratch on the glass then cleaning won't help.

hi,

I just want to know that which did you try to use to scan. is that by using the ADF (automatic document feeder) or using the scanner glass?

Look really close at the small glass strip. There will be toner embedded in the glass. It will probably be a very thin streak though, so hard to see.
