When [Scheduled Maintenance Alert] appears on the machine’s LCD, you must clean the machine promptly. If you do not, document jams and paper feed problems may occur.
First, run your fingertip over the glass to see if you feel anything (dirt or debris). Clean the glass strips with a lint-free cloth. You may have to repeat the cleaning process three or four times. To test, scan a document after each cleaning attempt.
When there is a spot of dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip, the scanned sample shows a vertical line.
After the glass strip is cleaned, the vertical line is gone.
