Cleaning the Scanner

To keep your scanner operating at its best, clean it periodically using the following procedure.
Caution:
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.
Turn off the scanner.
Unplug the AC adapter from the scanner.
Clean the outer case with a cloth dampened with mild detergent and water.
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:
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.
If the underside of the ADF gets dirty, clean it as described in Step 4. Also, be sure to clean the left side of the
document table.
