Anyone know how to dismantle and clean an hp3970?

Most well designed scanners have a method to address just this need.

You should be able to DL the manual from the HP site as well.

It should even appear intuitive. Well.... to some... ;-]

Usually, one of the ends has a cap that comes off, like the paper stop
end after removing part of the scanner apron or such.
