original), or if the misfeed 
occurred in the reversing tray, 
open the right side cover and 
gently remove the original. 
Close the right side cover.Check location C

If white or black lines appear in copies made with using the SPF, use the provided 
glass cleaner to clean the original scanning glass. (If white or black lines appear in 
copies, printed pages, or printed fax pages when the SPF is not used, see
