If strips appear on pages scanned using the document feeder, then probably the glass strip under the feeder has some speckles on it. Please note it's the strip on the leftmost side, not the big glass plate used to lay documents flat.
Commonly in offices the glass gets contaminated by white correction fluid used on a document and not dried sufficiently before scanning.
If strips appear when scanning from the flat glass bed, I'm afraid the scanning head is dirty or defective.
If this is happening only when you are scanning pages loaded in the ADF (not directly to the scanner's glass), please try to clean the narrow piece of glass located at the left of the scaner's glass. Usually, any trace of ink or dirt located on that strip of glass results in vertical lines in the scanned image.
Try cleaning the rollers. Usually you have to remove the cartridge to get to the rollers that moves the paper.
SOURCE: Line through middle of page when document scanned
Clean the ADF roller and the far left hand side of the glass, the small strip outside the 'main' panel.
SOURCE: whenever i scan a picture or document I get a line
first of all try to make a copy..when you make a copy if you get lines..then clean the scanner glass and the rollers..if its still the same..connect the printer directlu to the wall outlet and then check
SOURCE: everything I scan has two vertical lines and lots of horizontal

Lastly I hope your not using refilled cartridges cauz that causes the malfunctioning of the hardware of the printer
All you need to do is clean the top feeder which opens into two parts. make sure you clean the black rollers as well as the small strip of glass you will find when you open the second part of the top feeder . don't be afraid to pull open the top feeder it won't break
