Lines on scanned and copied documents is usually caused by something on the scanner glass such as ink, correction fluid or trash. Open the top of the printer and clean the scanner glass surfaces with windex and paper towels. See this article for more details:
Most Mustek scanners have a black inside cover on the lid, this can give a black line down the side of the job. ether cover the inside of the lid with white paper or place a bigger sheet on top of the sheet to be scanned!
There is most likely something on your scan glass that is blocking the scanner. Clean of both pieces of glass that are there when you flip open the ADF, or top cover. Try to copy again. If it is still there then there is either something on the scanner piece that moves back and forth to scan or one of your scan LEDs is burnt out and the scanner will have to be replaced.
Please check whether their is any thing on the glass of the scanner or there might be some dust or something might be stuck the glass that's why this problem occurs. so kindly clean the scanner glass with neat and clean cotton with some spirit on it and this will help you resolve your problem.
the component scanner inside has lost a section of scan because of its circut or the component its self. it will need to be tested to determine the exact cause
I had the same problem, and I just fixed it. It was a tiny little black dot which was stuck to the glass where the document feeder passes the paper to. First you need to figure out where the line is on paper with respect to the paper, and just carefully run your finger on the glass to see if there is something on the glass. I removed it, cleaned the glass, and anything which I run through the document feeder is now fine. Hope this helps.
Well I hate to give out bad news but if that line is in the exact same location on every scan it means that the element (the scanning light) has failed. Sorry that I could not earn a FixYa for you. If you need to replace the scanner I have had excellent luck with Epson scanners. Here is a link to a few on Amazon.com for refrence. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps &field-keywords=epson+scanner&x=0&y=0 Just copy the link and paste it into your web browser. there are also some very good all in one options. I have had this one for a year and it works well: http://www.amazon.com/C7280-Photosmart-All-Printer-CC567A /dp/B000UY6M2G/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=office-products &qid=1210270089&sr=8-4
Not sure what you have tried but if there are no lines when printing but there when scanning there is something on the scanner. Could be something as small a single dot of dirt and it will put a line down the whole page. Try cleaning the glass.
