This chapter provides information necessary to keep the scanner function in
optimum condition constantly and to prevent troubles.

6.1.1 Cleaning

Perform cleaning when stain is noticeable. Stain on the document glass,
particularly, has a direct effect on scanned images. Therefore, be sure to clean
the glass well to remove stain thoroughly.
Never apply any organic solvents such as thinner or
C A U T I O N
benzene, since these may deteriorate plastic and rubber
parts.
Outer Cases
Wipe dirt off with a clean cloth, moistened with water and squeezed tightly.
To remove severe stains, use a neutral detergent.
Document Glass
Remove dust and paper debris with a dry, clean cloth. If the dirt is severe
or foreign matter is stuck on the glass, use a cloth soaked with neutral
detergent. If any trace is left, wipe it off with a dry, clean cloth again.
