How do I remove the glass on my Epson V200 Scanner?

Operating heat vaporizes some lubrication grease that condenses on the glass. The glass is removable and can be cleaned like ordinary glass.

Try switching slide position in slide holder. A 90 degree turn might help.

possible driver issue.
Please trash and re-install the drivers.

I had the same problem with My Espon Perfection V500. I called tech support and they had me do the following sequence.

1. Turn off the unit
2. Unplug the lid from the base
3. Replug in the lid.
4. Turn the unit back on
5. Go into the Epson software in Professional mode, Configuration, Other and select Reset All
6. Rescan the picture.

It worked after that. Of course it also lost all my preset sizes in my Custom box and any other settings I had. I suspect the lid plug is what the problem was.

Another word to the wise. To test it I put in a picture that was laying on my desk and rescanned it and was disappointed to see the line in the result. A few minutes later I discovered that this particular line was in the original picture.

I have an Epson AC Adapter 220volt/13,5 Volt. Model A391VD As my scanner broke down. Fell from my table.

If the scratch is not to deep you can polish it out with lots of  elbow grease and cigarette ashes. Their are also products n the market to polish scratches out of glass. A really light rubbing compound like for 3M might work.
