The following should be cleaned once a day:
Cleaning the imaging guides
Documents are scanned through two transparent glass imaging
guides. It is important that these imaging guides be cleaned daily.
More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on usage.
Clean guides will give you the best image quality.
1. Turn off the power and open the upper access door.
2. Open the right side access door.
3. Release and open the vertical transport plate by rotating the
release handle 180 clockwise.
4. Release and remove the front imaging guide by rotating the
thumbscrew 90 counterclockwise, and lifting the guide's two
saddle mounts from the scanner's mounting shaft and set
aside.
5. Release and remove the rear imaging guide by swinging the
guide toward the front of the scanner (to release it from the
two magnets), and lifting the guide from the scanner's two
mounting pins.
6. Clean surfaces of both the front and rear imaging guides with
an antistatic wiper or a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, slightly
moistened with water or lens cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the cleaning pads on the imaging
guides. Do not use any abrasive materials
when cleaning the guides. This includes
abrasive cleansers, commercial solvents, paper
towels, or coarse cloths.
7. Dry the imaging guides with a dry, lint-free cloth.
8. To avoid fingerprints on the glass and white area, hold the
rear imaging guide by the edges, carefully set it back into the
scanner by seating it on the scanner's mounting pins. Swing
the guide toward the rear of the scanner to fix it to the two
magnets.
9. Hold the front imaging guide by the edges to avoid fingerprints
on the glass and white area, and carefully slide it back into the
scanner by seating the guide's two green saddle mounts on
the scanner's mounting shaft, and rotating the front imaging
guide thumbscrew 90 clockwise.
