Cleaning the Scanner
To keep your scanner operating at its best, clean it periodically using the following
procedure.
Caution:
c
❏ Do not press the glass surface of the document table with any force.
❏ Be careful not to scratch or damage the glass surface of the document table, and do not
use a hard or abrasive brush to clean it. A damaged glass surface can decrease the scan
quality.
❏ Never use alcohol, thinner, or corrosive solvent to clean the scanner. These chemicals
can damage the scanner components and the case.
❏ Be careful not to spill liquid into the scanner mechanism or electronic components. This
could permanently damage the mechanism and circuitry.
❏ Do not spray lubricants inside the scanner.
❏ Never open the scanner case.
1. Turn off the scanner.
2. Unplug the power cord from the scanner.
3. Clean the outer case with a cloth dampened with mild detergent and water.
4. If the glass surface of the document table gets dirty, clean it with a soft dry cloth. If the
glass surface is stained with grease or some other hard-to-remove material, use a small
amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth to remove it. Wipe off all remaining liquid.
Caution:
c
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the scanner glass.
Make sure that no dust builds up on the surface of the document table. Dust can cause
spots in your scanned images.
