    Optics must be parallel and CCD might need a slight adjustment; this is assuming the adf sits proper and is not skewed.

      Yeah.... I'm with Zootech.

      A 25mm thick band sounds about the size of one of the mylars under the ADF. I dont work on this series, but it sounds exactly like a similar issue with a Whale series machine when the ADF is skewed and a mylar just sits over the slit glass, causing a band across the page. Your A4R copies wouldn't register this problem as it would be one of the mylars on the outside.

      Check the ADF is sitting straight or clean the optics and slit glass REALLY well.

          A 25mm wide band across the page is quite large. Its not your regular ink stain or white-out size marking on the slit glass. It could possibly be part of the optics/cable hanging down between there and the CCD. Something is blocking the light. Look straight down through the optics to see the CCD. You might see something there causing this.

            I've had to trim a millimeter or two off of those ADF mylars on a couple of occasions. They can become quite mangled. =^..^=
            If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
            1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
            2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
            3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
            4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
            5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
