To get rid of the lines, you need to clean the scanner glass. 

Please follow the instructions below:

Open the scanner cover.

Moisten a clean lint-free cloth or paper towel with an ammonia-free, deionized glass cleaner.


CAUTION! Do not spray the cleaner or any liquids directly onto the flatbed scanner glass or backing material. In addition, do not clean the glass or backing material with any sort of alcohol or with solvents other than glass cleaner. 
Carefully wipe the surfaces of the flatbed scanner glass (A), the automatic document feed scanner glass (B), and the backing material (C).

Allow a few seconds for the surfaces to dry.

Close  the scanner cover and power the scanner unit back on.
