Black stripe on scanned documents

Printing from the computer works fine, but when I try to scan or copy documents, a wide vertical grainy black stripe appears down the entire length of the document.

Hi,

The HP Scanjet IIP scanners are supported in Windows XP and the drivers included on windows XP CD.

If you can’t manage download it from Windows XP operating system please try to update your Operating system then try again.
All the best.

Hi,

1. Try going to the bottom of any word document.

2. Click on the language tab (will show current language, eg. "German").

3. Select the desired language (eg. "English (U.K.)"). The select the "Default" button (to make it the default language for every future document).

Hi,
Make sure the document lies perfectly straight on the document table.
If you're printing on glossy paper, prints may be scratched if not handled properly. Don't place objects on top of your prints, and be careful not to scratch them with your fingernails. For best results, frame your prints under glass.
A moiré is a cross-hatch pattern that may appear in a scanned image of a printed document. It is caused by interference from the differing pitches in the scanner's screen and the halftone screen in your original.

  • Select the Descreening Filter check box in EPSON Scan's Home or Professional Mode window. In Professional Mode, set the Screen Ruling of the Descreening Filter setting to an appropriate setting for your document and deselect the Unsharp Mask Filter setting. See Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for instructions.
  • Select a lower Resolution setting. See Selecting the Scan Resolution for instructions.

You can also check this link (manual) to get detailed information.
I hope it helps.

On Epson Artisan 800 the scanner leaves wide black stripes for the whole length of the paper. Printing From a file is OK.

If computer printing is fine (source) but scanner printing has problems, then of course, your problem is in the scanner. The only solution based on your info (which is good), are the lines in the same areas on other bad scanning prints? If so, your problem means that the scan-head has a connection problem leaving a 'black' send to the print buffer. This will require some technical repair replace or clean connection. Remember that this is a mechanical movement that not only records what it 'sees'e but at what X-Y location the read was 'seen'. It would be worth it to get an estimate from your local computer repair center give you an estimate.

Vertical Black Line

Probably there is nothing wrong with that scanner, just open and clean document feder with alcohol or glass cleaner.

Dark, vertical stripe on copy on Sharp AR-M160

Have you cleaned the small, narrow glass window leftmost of the platen? It is directly above the scanning bar's "home" position, and that's where the document is scanned, while it's fed by the feeder, passing over the bar (the paper moves, as oposed to platen scanning, when the bar is moving and document remains still).

Xerox WorkCentre 4150, 3 vertical white lines in all feeder scans

the problem is in the scanner, open it up and see if you can find any smudges, and clean any obstruction, any ink, liquid eraser residuals, can cause this part to appear as lines on your copied faxed image.
dont concentrate on the printer this is a scanner problem

Black line down the middle of scanned documents.

Try leaving the cover open and run a test scan, once with a fresh sheet as the item to be scanned and then a second time without anything on the table.  You may see what is blocking the light source or possibly a defect in it.
Scanning is done left-right, left-right across the width of the page and the vertical stripe indicates that the blockage is present during each scanned line.
In servicing copiers and multifunction machines, I have found a number of curious contaminents, one of the most annoying was a moth, still alive, that would randomly sit on the lamp, causing some pages to come out OK, others not. 
If your copies and printouts are coming out fine, then only the scanner can be at fault.
