Red vertical lines, scanning to computer

Scanning old but good condition photos onto computer, they all have red & black vertical lines. Have tried cleaning everything with no success, it gets worse each time I try.

    The right side of any scanned image is coming out in a pinkish red color regardless whether it is a word document or a color photo.

I had one red line appear when i used the duplex. I happened to notice that the thinner glass window on the scanner was dirty. I cleaned it and now no line appears.

I have a Epson cx11 and get a black vertical line down the middle of scans and copies

Check your flat bed and Document feeder scanning glass need to be clean, if any dot or dust in scanning glass of document feeder it will appear a line, check this points first
1- Check printouts from computer or FAX if it is clean problem in scanning section
2- Check using Copying a blank paper using only Flatbed if it prints without any line its problem from document feeder Scanning glass
So solution is clean the Document feeder scanning glass using wet cloth, note careful about wet cloth switch off the machine and clean it

Lights for 480v photo cell control, the blue one, come on and stay on, any suggestions, or reasons this would happen? Is longer than 5 minutes

Unknown if this is new installation, or old installation that went bad.
Old install, then check voltage is correct for rating plate, check that line power is not under-voltage, check that photo control receives enough light by shining 120Volt light bulb onto photo eye, replace photo eye
New install, check wiring. Photo cell has 3 wires, For example Black White and Red.
Black and White connect to power source, and Red goes to load.

I am scanning a photo. I have translucent lines running horizontal through the picture before i print it.

Documents scanned/copied from the document feeder pass over a thin glass area where scanning occurs. Clean this area if sent faxes, copies or scans have black or white vertical lines.
  1. Lift the document cover to expose the platen glass.

  2. Wipe the ADF scan area (C) with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water.

  3. Then wipe with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth making sure there are no residues left, especially on the platen glass.

  4. Close the document cover and make a copy of a text document to confirm the black line has disappeared.

My Braun 3650 is scanning everything RED, I changed computers and is still scanning red, any idea why it's doing that?

See previous fix for black lines problem is likely the same i.e fractures in the flexible cable between the scanning head and mother board, changing this cable will likely cure this fault.

When I put a doc on the glass to copy -the print has a black vertical line down the page. When I print from computer to print - it works fine - there is no line of ink. Can I fix this myself? What would u...

A long black line on scanned images is usually caused by a piece of trash on the scanning mechanism.
Look at the scanning arm (the thing that moves when you scan something) and then see if it has any trash on it. If it looks good then you may have a mechanical malfunction in that part.
Let us know hat you find.
