I figured this one out.

There is a language panel on the front (that tells you what each button does). The original instructions mentioned putting the panel on but not taking it off. If you use a small, thin screwdriver or thin, dull knife from underneath, you can work your way across the bottom edge, popping off the language panel. When you remove the panel you reveal three screws, one rather tiny one in the center toward the bottom, and two medium sized ones to the sides closer to the top. Slide the glass cover up and off. There are two more medium sized screws near the slots for the cover. Remove all five screws. The assembly with the glass comes right off, allowing you to clean both sides.

How to clean the glass underside of the hp scanjet g3010

working with computers since 1964 (yes, there were computers even then...), with consumer scanners since 1988, servicing hp equipment and scanners since 1998, for saving my life - i never, ever see any smudging on internal surface of the glass... could you kindly elaborate how you get smudging there?

there is no consumer serviceable parts inside, these are "disposable" scanners and never intended to be repaired or serviced inside.

How can you clean the glass on a Canon 8600F

Got this from Canon.com: The foggy haze on the glass is actually an anti-glare treatment that has been intentionally applied to the underside of the scanner glass. This treatment lessens the glare from the lamp under the glass and provides better image quality. This haze may not appear uniform because of the shape of the scanner base and the components under the glass. However, the anti-glare treatment has been uniformly applied and the haze is as expected.

NOTE: The underneath side of the scanner glass cannot be cleaned on any product. This is unlikely to be necessary and should only be done by an authorized service provider.

This note is found on that website. For an authorized service provider near you: http://hp.infonow.net/bin/findNow?CLIENT_ID=HP_LOC_CAN_SRV (in Canada)
