Look for some screws in the case, undo them, get to the screen , clean it with a lint free cloth.
Do up screws.

Try out, if something broke, get a new scanner.


If you don't want to take a chance, take HP's advice.
What choices are there? Clean it yourself, or don't clean it yourself.

Yup, I have no qualms of disassembling my scanner to clean the glass and vacuum the dust out. I've done it several times without problems.
