Cleaning the Shading Plates
If scanned images appear scratchy even after you have cleaned the rollers, the
shading plates inside the scanner may be dirty. If this happens, clean the shading
plates.
■ The power to the scanner is ON when you are cleaning the shading plates so be very
careful.
■ Be careful not to bend the shading plates while you clean them. If they are bent,
scanning cannot be done properly.
■ Do not clean the back side of the shading plates. Doing so may cause the shading
plates to bend.

Press the open/close button, and lift up the upper scanner gently until it
