I've run plenty of magazines through my f-7160 without getting any dust lines. I can scan a bunch of stuff, wiping down the glass between issues and not get dust lines on anything. Another day, I could get dust lines on every magazine I run through it. It comes down to luck. If the magazine has no dust or loose paper fibers you'll be fine. There have been days where I have had to rescan pages a bunch of times because the dust is always showing up. Most of the time though I have no issues.
