over time of having this printer/scanner/etc combo and, in part, because of where I have to keep it, I've noted that it would be easier to buy a separate scanner and also noted that it's not worth $500 to get a stand-alone scanner

Now that I have a stack of crap to scan, it seems like a more clear need-but I'm already in debt and I don't even have the $1500 in my checking account to avoid the $12/month fee so it's not worth the purchase I guess

I just noticed that the more expensive scanners than the one I was looking at don't support Mac

HP Scanjet Pro 3000 s3

also vertical lines got worse

now I have 4 or something

cleaning that area is exceedingly difficult to be blunt

SHOULD HAVE SAID: because I can't just open the flatbed (which has the area of the ADF that appears to be the issue to clean) AND it won't stay open because I put the printer in an area without much clearance above it AND that means I have to hold it open with one hand

while very carefully wiping the area down with hopefully no scratches which is already a difficult job without factoring in the risk

AND it's difficult to get light in the area as putting a flashlight down would scratch the relevant area which is severely relevant given
NT

a only partially open flatbed obviously doesn't allow enough light in to say the least

this is all in addition to hoping no dust gets in and that area is full of it

@FBI at least for liked sections of this thread

I'm not sure what's more responsible, some irony aside, as it appears muscle atrophy magnifies the difficulty of maintaining my current ADF

once I reach "$0", though (credit paid off and the $1500 minimum in my bank account to avoid a monthly fee), I was supposed to purchase a new phone

when I move, I may just get this printer without the ADF and buy a stand alone scanner, though

it seems at least slightly relevant to note because of the video
CFLU
OH also: the ADF I currently have is still damaged/broken and I'm less sure how to clear the issue of the vertical black line down the center of each page

it still seems worth more to use than to spend $500, though
