Clean the copyboard **** glass. Probably debris on glass.
If copies are good on platen glass and problem is with feeder only this should help.

press function 6-4 start and let that print .. if you have no lines then the machine is the scan glass..

to clean scan glass open the control panel door but not the toner door.. you will see 2 green plastics on either side of the machine.. press them both towards the center and lift..when done properly you will lift the white plastic plate about a 1/4 inch.. tilt that up and clean the glass with windex or alcohol..


if this does not work you need a tech because you scratch the glass

you should clean the thin glass(it is about 2cm wide) under the spf.

Lift the auto feeder cover and clean the narrow glass that the originals are scanned across...sounds like you have some dirt there -maybe correction fluid? That's the most common.
Please rate me :)

Most Likely the PCU (photoconductor) needs replacing, but it could be a fuser roller problem. It's impossible to say for sure without seeing it.

Lift the document feeder cover, and clean the scanner glass.

Please rate solution

The "Check SPF/RSPF" issue can be a couple of things

1. If the scanner only moves from right to left then immediately moves back then the copier needs to be adjusted.
2. If the scanner moves from right to left and tries to feed then displays message then the ADF needs to be cleaned.

Same for the dark issues

1. If you lighten the exposure and the copies come out better then copier needs to be adjusted
2. If you lighten the exposure and the copies come out the same then you may have a few problems check the following;

• Open right side door and look at drum green/blue cylinder . If it is covered with toner (black film) then you might have a drum short.
• Open right side door and look at drum, if it is not covered then you may have a board issue.

While making a copy off the glass listen to the right side of the copier and if you can hear a screeching sound then you could be having an electrical short that is causing your black copies.

Depending on your findings depends on the remedies.
