The Epson V370 is a regular flatbed scanner and doesn't have a document feeder option AFAIK. But what I've seen with older scanners is minor dust / debris accumulating *behind* the glass. Even in sealed units. Usually this is not a problem as long as the glass is clean. But if the scanner gets moved a lot, a particle may end up sitting on top of the sensor blocking a pixel or two and making a line. If that's the case, turning the scanner on its side and gently shaking it may dislodge the dirt. This should be easy to spot with a flashlight and a good magnifying glass. Since you know where the line usually ends up, you may also know the rough area of the scan array where to look.
