I just called the Xerox customer support number (800-648-0410) and they solved that verticle line problem in 10 seconds. Here's the solution: Clean the white-strip raised section on the top portion of the glass with some isopropyl alcohol on a rag. There is a piece of dirt there that shows up as a line when it runs through the document feeder. If you're just scanning on the glass, you don't see it because it's just a spec of dirt, but through the feeder, the dirt shows up as a solid line throughout the whole document. By cleaning that section off, it takes out the line. Viola! I worked for me. That's the second time I've called Xerox for a problem with my scanner, and I would like to report that their customer support is awesome!

If the the scanner is based on lLED then probably one of the LED is not working, and if this is florescent tube based then there is somthing wron with the CCD or the Reflector. open it and check it for a spot in the reflector.

Assuming the the Glass is cleaned-  and the device is mechanically functional- then the only other thing to go wrong is the CCD- the image capture device- at that stage I suggest there is no repair feasible only replacement of the whole unit.
However a trawl of the Visioneer Web site/customer support may  give a clue.

Check your flat bed and Document feeder scanning glass need to be clean, if any dot or dust in scanning glass of document feeder it will appear a line, check this points first
1- Check printouts from computer or FAX if it is clean problem in scanning section

So solution is clean the Document feeder scanning glass using wet cloth, note careful about wet cloth switch off the machine and clean it

I am scanning a photo. I have translucent lines running horizontal through the picture before i print it.

Documents scanned/copied from the document feeder pass over a thin glass area where scanning occurs. Clean this area if sent faxes, copies or scans have black or white vertical lines.
  1. Lift the document cover to expose the platen glass.

  2. Wipe the ADF scan area (C) with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water.

  3. Then wipe with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth making sure there are no residues left, especially on the platen glass.

  4. Close the document cover and make a copy of a text document to confirm the black line has disappeared.

Black vertical line along left margin when using the adf to scan.

Hi,

Check both the Fuser Unit and the Cartridge for lines . In any of the rollers are found with a line that means it needs to be replaced.

One sided scanning is fine, but two sided scans have a 1/4 inch black line vertically down the left side. Cleaning does nothing.

When you say one sided scans are OK, are you using the ADF (auto document feeder) or the flatbed? Are you using the ADF for the two sided scan? What parts have you cleaned thus far? A little more info please?

thanks

Vertical black line in scan document not in copies through document feeder

Lift the lid and to the left of the main glass is a smaller glass; that is what scans during the feeding process. Make sure that it is completely clean; even a speck of dust can cause a line to appear. I took a lens wipe and cleaned mine and my line was gone.
