Product: Samsung Printer - SCX-6545X Series
Whenever the user scans using the feeder scanner they come up with a big pink or orange line down in the middle of the paper. I would appreciate if someone here knows how to recalibrate this scanner?
thanks.

Not sure about calibrating, but make sure the small strip of glass on the left side of the scanner bed is absolutely clean. It only takes a small speck on the glass to create a line. Lay the COPY with the line face up on the flatbed in the same orientation as you fed the original. Trace the line to the glass on the left side. If there is no foreign material to remove, you may need to remove the glass and clean the optics (be careful).
