Canon Maxify GX6021 Scanning has Blurred Spots and Lines in the images.

Hello! I recently got this printer/scanner combo and have been wanting to scan my artwork with it. However, when I attempt to do so, there seems to be blurry spots in the scan along with lines that go through most of the artwork. I am suspecting it's an issue with the camera itself, but I don't know how to verify that. Please let me know if you have any ideas! I'm using the Canon IJ Scan Utility application if that helps. Thank you.

Things I've tried:

Changing the output resolution (it's usually at 1200dpi)
Changed the color mode
Turned on/off all the image settings
Positioned the artwork differently on the scanner
Plugged the Canon into a wall socket
Made sure the artwork was firmly against the glass
Cleaned the glass with glass cleaner & a microfiber cloth
Checked different artwork (the issue persists)

Below are example images.

1. Do you run into the same issue if you try to scan or copy a printed document or photo?

2. Is the surface of the page in the image flat or does it have any wrinkles/indentations?
