care and maintenance
Occasional cleaning of your scanner helps ensure optimal performance. The
amount of care necessary depends upon several factors, including the amount
of use and the environment. You should perform routine cleaning as necessary.
Note: Avoid placing items with sharp edges in the scanner. Doing so can
damage the scanner. Before placing an item on the scanner glass, make
sure the item is free of wet glue, correction fluid, or other substances that can
be transferred to the glass.
clean the scanner glass
1 Disconnect the USB cable and power cable from the scanner.
2 Clean the glass using a soft, lint-free cloth sprayed with a mild glass
cleaner, drying the glass with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.
Caution! Use only glass cleaner. Avoid abrasives, acetone,
benzene, and carbon tetrachloride, all of which can damage the
scanner glass. Avoid isopropyl alcohol because it can leave
streaks on the glass.
Do not spray the glass cleaner directly on the glass. If too much
glass cleaner is applied, the cleaner could run to the edges and
damage the scanner.
3 When finished, reconnect the USB cable and power cable to the scanner.
Note: For instructions on how to clean the underside of the scanner glass,

Periodically, the APF might need to be cleaned with an approved HP Photo
Feeder cleaning cloth. Refer to instructions on the cleaning cloth package.
