13. adf dirty error
display(default) / do not display
Once you have cleaned the glass, you need to power down the unit completely. (Main power switch on the side) The error will not clear until you do that.
If you are getting this message when running copies it simply means that you need to clean the glass. If you have cleaned the glass and are still getting this message you may need to very carefully remove the glass and clean the bottom side of it. Also some copiers have a very narrow glass near the main platen glass that will have to be cleaned also.
SOURCE: How do I clean the INSIDE glass/platen?
You mean the inside of the scanner glass? (The platten is a part of the print unit),
You'll have to remove the sides and read cover. Unplug the scanner wires and remove the scanner assembly. Separate the document feeder from the scanner bed. Open the covers of the scanner bed (usually there are screws holding it together). Remove the glass and clean it. Reverse the process to reassemble.
Be careful. Canon multipasses are built a little like a Chinese puzzle box. There are little snaps everywhere as well as screws. Watch out you don't force anything and cause the snaps to break.
SOURCE: mf6530 always says platen glass dirty but I've even cleaned both sides
Found the solution at http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=239&modelid=13170&kbpage=yes , then enter "clean platen glass" in the search window, and select item #1 "ERROR LCD: PLATEN GLASS DIRTY, CLEAN PLATEN GLASS ". This gives step-by-step instructions on how to clean the area dealing with the platen glass.
