It is possible that you just have a dust problem: On most scanners the
scan head needs to be calibrated during the startup phase. This is usually
done by placing it under a calibration image that is usually inside the
housing. If you have dust on this target, then the calibration will
not work for those pixels that scan the dust particles.
