Check the white level strip under the platen glass, it starts to lift off and goes grey in places causing the CCD to over adjust to compensate.

If this is a problem that only shows up when using the copy function, you probably need to clean the optic better. Try giving the SBU a good blast of air from a can.
For what it is worth, I'd recommend not using too much of an alcohol based cleaner when cleaning the optics. If I understand it correctly, the shiny part of the mirrors in the optics are aluminum based, and too much alcohol can be pretty destructive.
