Cleaning the Feeder (ADF)

Return to Overview

Keep the scanning area clean to avoid dirty copies or faxes to be sent.

If your documents have black streaks or appear dirty after copying them using the ADF, this may be caused by pencil lead rubbing off the documents and onto the roller. Clean the ADF scanning area, film, and roller.
