Hi @delfino2107 ,
You need to clean the scanner glass window beneath the ADF. A speck of dirt or grime etc on the glass window will cause a vertical line to appear on the output document.
Be careful when cleaning. See the Cautions advisory notes in the image below. A slightly damp microfibre cloth seems to work quite well.
Here’s an image taken from p.34 of the user manual that shows the two separate scanner windows. The smaller one on the left is used for the ADF and the larger one is for flatbed scanning.
