My LS30 has no sensors so bad that they produce visible lines at 1200% 
magnification.  I agree that it is not acceptable to have any sensors so bad 
that a scan has clearly light/dark lines; I would want the scanner replaced.  

Are Minolta telling you that the 'lazy or bad sensors' are not sufficiently bad 
to justify replacing the scanner?
