Line of Dots Appears in All Scanned Images

If a line of dots appears in all your scanned images, try these solutions:
• Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth or use a small amount of glass cleaner on the
cloth, if necessary. Paper towels are not recommended.
Caution: Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the scanner glass.
• Make sure any interface cables are securely connected at both ends.
• Remove any dust or dirt that may have adhered to your original.
• Do not press with too much force on the original or the document cover.
• Keep the document cover closed to prevent dirt or dust from getting inside.
