    i have tried that, the marks seem to inside the unit under the scanning area. it looks almost like condesation, but its got a red sheen to it. i brought the printer a year or so ago but have never need to use the scanner untill now. every thing else is fine with the unit apart from these marks. cannon are not intreasted due to it being out of warrenty by a couple of months.

    The smudges are on the INSIDE of the glass... It has to be opened to clean it, because there's no way to get to them otherwise...

How to clean the glass underside of the hp scanjet g3010

working with computers since 1964 (yes, there were computers even then...), with consumer scanners since 1988, servicing hp equipment and scanners since 1998, for saving my life - i never, ever see any smudging on internal surface of the glass... could you kindly elaborate how you get smudging there?

there is no consumer serviceable parts inside, these are "disposable" scanners and never intended to be repaired or serviced inside.

My brother printer/copier/scanner/fax machine is printing with a vertical line down each copy. What can I do to fix that?

check that the corona cleaner on drum unit is locked on correct side, if still line, check scanner glass, left side, see if white out is on glass, or some type of smudge on glass

Prints are coming out ''dirty''.Oce 7051

when printing a file, in most cases it's the photoconductor unit (also called 'drum') that needs to be replaced. if this did not help, it may also be the fusing unit.
when making copies, it may very well be smudges on the scanner glass.

Hp laserjet 3380

The problem is not your scanner, is in the rollers, the rollers are smudged with ink or other mateial or your glass is smudge, remove the four star bolts on the top and clean the undersurface of the glas with a conventional glass cleaner wipe and re install the top cover.Be careful with the ribbon cables connected to the circuit board.
