Epson Scan starts in the last mode you used. Note for Mac OS X users: If you do not see a Scan&Read icon, choose Select Scanner from the Scan&Read menu, select EPSON Perfection V500, and click OK. Then select Scan&Read from the Scan&Read menu to start Epson Scan. My understanding is that, as of now, Epson only supplies a scanner driver that makes it compatible with Apple's Image Capture, not with the new Epson Scan 2. I have read about VueScan as an alternative, and the V500 is listed as compatible but I do wonder if that is the case for macOS 10.15 as well as the Vue Scan website refers to installing.
Here is a good video on opening and cleaning the V7xx and V8xx scanners. A word of caution - You really want to work in a dust-free environment because dust settling back down during cleaning can be a problem. Running a hot shower to steam up a very well-cleaned bathroom will 'grab' the remaining dust out of the air. Then keep the door closed and let the bathroom cool. You now have a 'clean room,' therefore, only open the bathroom door once to enter with your scanner and tools in order to minimize bringing in more dust. Also, if you are going to clean the mirrors, you must be very careful and fully clean them without leaving any dust behind or your scanner might perform worse than before.
If you want to see things from another viewpoint, here is a second video but it is not as detailed:
For a good general tutorial on dismantling older Epson flatbeds, you might want to look in the Files section of the Epson 'Pro-sumer' Scanner group at Yahoo Groups. Click here and then scroll down to find the 'Dismantling Epson Flatbeds' file. The tutorial is targeted at the 2450/3200/4870 but is helpful for other models since they are so similar.
