Dust under the glass. Which ADF scanner is easy to clean?

[Plamen Tanovski]

Hi,

I have an Avision 220 and I am pleased with its work. The only and very
big problem is, that the scanner gets dusty also _under_ the glass which
causes vertical lines in the scans. Cleaning under the glass is almost
impossible. Can someone recommend me an ADF scanner, which is easy to
clean even under the glass. As I read on the net, dusty glass seems to
be a common problem for all ADF-only scanners.

best regards

In my experience, with an Epson scanner, the lines on the scan aren't
caused by dust under the glass, but by dust on the mirrors. (Dust on
the underside of the glass merely causes slight out-of-focus smudges on
the images.) Opening it up and cleaning the mirrors is difficult but
necessary.

Thanks for that valuable advise. Cleaning the mirror is a bit easier in
Avision.
