    [CQ] Blue background on SPC250sf

    Printing is great quality, but when i scan or copy something the result has a blue hue background right across the whole page?

    How can I clear this, can it be calibrated or someting?

    First make sure the optics are clean, a hazing of cyan toner on one or more mirrors can cause the problem. Then run Auto Color Calibration.

      This model is particularly bad for the glue attaching the ADF slit glass to the scanner frame part, causing all sorts of ridiculous copy quality issues.
      It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

      Hit it.

        I would try to tear down and cleaning the optics, it might become cloudy, and in scans and copies the dirt is interpreted as blue, but it has also happened to me in the past that the reading sensor has failed
