4.1 Overview

This chapter explains the maintenance work necessary to keep this product in the best
condition and to prevent problems.

4.1.1 Cleaning

If the product is noticeably dirty, clean it being careful of the following points.
Especially when the Document Glass surface is dirty, fully clean it to remove all dirt
since the read image quality is directly affected.
C A U T I O N Never use organic solvents, such as thinner and benzene, because they
may deteriorate or degrade the plastic and rubber parts.
Exterior
After wetting a clean cloth with water and then completely squeezing water out of
it, wipe the exterior with that close. If the exterior is extremely dirty, wipe it with a
cloth moistened with a small amount of detergent.
Document Glass
Clean it with a clean, dry cloth. When the Document Glass is especially dirty or
has foreign matter on its surface, wipe it with a cloth moistened with a small
amount of pure water. If the Document Glass has traces of wiping after cleaning,
completely wipe it with a dry, clean cloth again.
Scanner inside
When the Upper Housing has been removed, much dirt and dust enter from the
outside. Therefore, reinstall the Upper Housing after fully air-blowing the scanner
inside and Upper Housing.
