Removing Spots & Specks
(when scanning or copying)

If you notice spots or specks on your image, try the following:

Clean the Document Glass

Dirt and dust in the work environment, finger prints, and paste-up residue from documents will gradually build up on the Document Glass. Sometimes this shows up on scans as specks or spots.

Optimally, the Document Glass should be cleaned at the start of each work day.

Carefully clean the Document Glass.

Clean the Document Feeder

Though the Document Feeder is mainly enclosed, dirt and paper dust can get into the paper path and rollers, causing spots, streaks and specks on the output image.

Optimally, the Document Feeder should be cleaned at the start of each work day.

Carefully clean the Document Feeder.

TIP: If you have programmed and run a job, and received unexpected results, ensure that the system-wide settings are all set back to their defaults by clicking <Clear All> or <Reset> in the user interface. Then proceed to do job programming pertinent to your job.
