If the scanner glass or the white scan background (the white portion of the lid) are dirty, the scan might be different than intended. A dirty scanner glass (fingerprints or smudges) slows down performance by as much as half a minute and affects scan quality. Performance slows because the product is actually processing the smudges on the glass. Turn off the product , and then clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner. If there are visible contaminants under the scanner glass, the product must be sent in for servicing. You cannot remove the scanner glass to clean inside.

Reinitialize the scanner by turning off the product and unplugging the power cord. Make sure that all original documents are removed from the product and that the scanner glass on the product is clean. When the power is reconnected and the product is turned on, the scanner recalibrates.

The computer video driver and video settings might change the image appearance slightly. The product scans in 24-bit color. Setting the video display settings to less than 24-bit, or 24 million colors, results in a loss of color information on the computer monitor. The video driver might change the appearance of colors when viewed on the monitor.

ground loop is problem. Many answers available via Google.

In that set its usually a bad picture tube. The lines you are seeing are called retrace lines. You can take it to a shop and they may be able to rejuvenate the tube

Hiyama Monitor Model: Vision Master 17 (8617E Chassis)
Horizontal dark line across screen shadowing text or other complex display data - giving appearance of 3D grooves or just dark lines on light background - temp fix (few minutes) by banging monitor or jiggling the video cable (thats what threw me for a while)
Removed tube base board and ran over disc capacitors and other solder joints whether they looked dry or not. No re-occurence in 2 weeks of daily use. Seems to have fixed it. (Be prepared for a lot of metalwork and screw removal when opening one of these up - I still havn't figured out how to get the PSU/main board out of one !)
