The entry and exit page sensors may accumulate dust or small pieces of paper that can
cause the miss-detection of the leading or trailing edge of a document. This can cause

sensors once a week, or as needed.
To clean the page sensors, follow the procedure below:
1. Shut down the host PC.
2. Power off the scanner.
3. Remove any documents in the exit tray.
4. Open the scanner transport cover, lifting it as high as it will rise.

Do not touch page sensors with cotton swabs (or anything else) when
cleaning the scanner. Use the transport cleaner only.
