Scanner not scanning properly - what to do...????

Respected members and dear friends,

I have one UMAX 3400 scanner bought 2 years back. The scanner is used say three or four times per month.

From last three days I have been trying to scan my few important documents BUT am unable to do so as the scanned copy is either having strange colours or black smudges and the like.

I mean the scannned copy is NOT at all upto the mark. I cleaned it with propyl alcohol and tissue paper but still no luck.

Any idea as to why it is NOT working properly and what should i do to remedy it...????

Also in case i decide to purchase a new scanner; which is the best scanner in the range of say rs 1000 to 4000; i mean which company's scanner is leader and whats the price...???????

warm regards

Thanks....
