There is a black line down the middle of my document when I scan from feeder, cleaning as suggested didn't work.

After receiving your message I tried this process a second time but this time focusing on the possibility of tiny spots.  I used  a soft damp (water) corner of a wash cloth followed by a dry corner of the same cloth.  Also I cleaned under the plastic film on the glass strip not completely removing it but only partially lifting it and carefully placed it back into its original position.   

 

No more streaks & thanks for the video!  🎥  💽
