I just checked the track of the film cartridge, near the door of this scanner and found ***** of dirt. I used tape to clean it.
I tested for several roll of films and gave clean result w/o strip-line marks.
Thanks a lot for this DIY advice.
I have the same problem on my Microtek ScanMaker i900. How do I clean it, how do I take it apart? I have no idea....
