Cleaning the Scanner/Converter

In order to maintain the scanned image quality and prevent dust accumulation, it is recommended that you clean the
Scanner/Converter (outer casing and image sensor inside the Scanner/Converter) approximately every 50-100 scans, or if
vertical lines or stripes appear on the scanned image.
Use only the recommended and supplied tools to clean the Scanner/Converter.
WARNING: Do not use any solvents or corrosive liquid (i.e., alcohol, kerosene, etc.) to clean any part of the
Scanner/Converter, otherwise the plastic material will be permanently damaged.

Clean the Outer Casing

1. Use a suitable dust blower to blow off the dust on the Scanner/Converter.
2. Use a slightly dampened cloth to wipe off any smear on the surface of the Scanner/Converter.
3. Wipe the Scanner/Converter with a dry and clean lint-free cloth.

Clean the Image Sensor

1. Clean the Scanner/Converter's outer casing first.

If the scanned image looks fuzzy or there are strange stripes on it, the Scanner/Converter may need calibrating in order for the
sensor to resume its original precision.
Follow the instructions beginning on page 15 to clean the image sensor, and then follow the instruction in "Preparation and
Initial Setup" on page 9 to prepare the Scanner/Converter for scanning.

If the Scanner/Converter will not be used for a prolonged period of time, follow the instructions below to store the
Scanner/Converter for future use.
2. With the Scanner/Converter powered off and disconnected from the power
supply, insert the sensor cleaning swab into one end of the output slot.
Make sure that there is no visible dust on the swab before inserting it into the
output slot
3. Gently slide the sensor cleaning swab back and forth from one end of the
output slot to the other five or six times consecutively.
CAUTION: Do not apply too much force on the swab.
4. Remove the sensor cleaning swab from the slot.
Store it in a safe place and protect it from dust.
1. Insert the calibration card as shown.
2. The Scanner/Converter will scan the pattern on the calibration card and automatically perform
calibration to the sensor inside.
Make sure that the calibration card is inserted in the correct direction, otherwise the calibration
won't work.
