Daily Cleaning
To maintain high-quality scanning, you should periodically clean the following:
• Main unit
• Flatbed (Platen glass)
• Pressure Board (Black)
• Feeder
■ Before you clean the scanner, turn OFF the scanner and computer and disconnect
the power cord from the power outlet. Otherwise, an electrical shock may result.
■ Never clean the scanner with any kind of organic solvent, such as alcohol, benzene,
or paint thinner. It might cause a fire and electrical shock, or cause the exterior of the
scanner to disfigure or discolor.
■ Never spray detergent or water directly onto the flatbed (platen glass). Sprayed liquid
can get inside the scanner and soil the light source and lens.
■ Overuse of water and allowing the scanner to become too wet during cleaning can
damage scanned documents and cause malfunction of the scanner.
Cleaning the Main Unit
Wipe the scanner with a firmly wrung cloth moistened slightly with water or mild
detergent. Then wipe off with a clean, dry cloth.
