I asked our lead service guy and he concurs with Tony's opinion. If you send
me a file I can have it looked at. The CCD is vertical so it is difficult
for dust to settle on it but it has been known to happen.

Almost certainly a speck of dust on the CCD surface - not a problem I
have yet had with a SS4000, but have had with 2 different flatbeds. Try
using an aerosol air-duster like Dust-off. Be *very* careful to keep the
can upright and level, so as not to squirt liquid propellant into the
scanner.
