1. 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.
• The power needs to be ON when cleaning the rollers and the
shading boards. Be careful of electric shocks when working on
the scanner while the power is ON.
• Do not use excessive force when removing or attaching the
rollers. Doing so may damage 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 exterior of the scanner, dampen a cloth with water or a mild
detergent, wring the cloth out thoroughly, and then wipe the dirt away. Then
use a dry, soft cloth to wipe away any moisture.
Cleaning the feed path
Dust or paper particles in the document feed opening or inside the scanner can
cause lines in scanned images. Use a blower to periodically clean dust and
paper particles from the document feed opening and the inside of the scanner.
After finishing a large scanning job, you should turn off the scanner and then
clean out any paper particles.
