Maintenance - Epson FilmScan 200 Service Manual

6.1 MAINTENANCE

Appropriate cleaning is required to maintain the device in optimal condition over a long period and to
prevent problems. Use a neutral cleaning agent to remove external dirt, and use a vacuum cleaner to
remove dust and other debris. Be sure hat the reflector glass of the optical unit is free of dirt; dirt on the
glass can have a particularly bad influence on the reading quality. If the glass is dirty, clean it with a dry,
soft cloth.


Do not use thinner, trichlene, or ketones, since these may cause deterioration of plastic and rubber
parts.


Be careful not to damage the components when you attempt to clean the inside of the printer.
