Try cleaning the little strip of glass in front of the scanning area. Use something that won't leave streaks, like alcohol. I've found that I get lines through things when that area is a little dirty. My scanner is a Umax 1200S, yours is a better model, I think. I highly recommend the Umax MagicScan Software instead of VistaScan. You can download it from the web site.
