Regular Maintenance
Clean the scanner on a regular basis as described below to maintain peak
scanning quality.
CAUTION
• When cleaning the scanner or inside of the scanner, turn OFF
the power switch and unplug the Power Cord from the outlet.
• Scanner power needs to be turned on when cleaning the metal
rollers. Because of this, you need to exercise extra caution
when cleaning them.
• Do not use spray type cleaners to clean the scanner. Precision
mechanisms, such as the light source, may get wet, which will
cause a malfunction.
• Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents to
clean the scanner. Such solvents can damage or discolor the
exterior of the scanner. They also create a risk of fire or
electrical shock.
Cleaning the Scanner
To clean the front of the scanner, moisten a cloth with plain water, wring out
excess water, wipe the surface and then dry it with a clean dry cloth.
Cleaning Inside the Scanner
Dust or paper particles inside the scanner can cause lines in scanned images.
Use a blower for regular cleaning of dust and paper particles from inside the
scanner. After finishing a large scanning job, you should turn OFF the scanner
and then clean any paper particles that are remaining.
