HP Designjet T1120 MFP scans have thin lines along the feed direction

Compare a scan with its original before changing image settings. On this model, contamination in the scanning path can produce lines absent from the paper.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Compare a scan with its original before changing image settings. On this model, contamination in the scanning path can produce lines absent from the paper.

Understand the issue

Use the cleaning procedure for the Designjet T1120 MFP rather than instructions for another scanner. Protect fragile originals and avoid scraping glass or applying an improvised solvent. A repeated mark in the same position provides a useful clue for service.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Scan a clean plain test original.
  2. Follow the model's documented scanner cleaning procedure.
  3. Repeat the same scan and consult its calibration guidance if needed.
