HP Scanner Tools Utility scanner maintenance information
Occasional cleaning of the scanner helps ensure high-quality scans. The amount of care necessary depends
upon several factors, including the amount of use and the environment. You should perform routine cleaning as
necessary.
Routine cleaning and maintenance should include cleaning the automatic document feeder (ADF), the scanner
glass, and the fan filters.
CAUTION: Avoid placing items that have sharp edges, paper clips, staples, wet glue, correction fluid, or
other substances in the scanner. Document pages should not be curled, wrinkled, or stuck together.

Clean the automatic document feeder
The automatic document feeder (ADF) requires periodic maintenance depending on the amount of use and the
type of paper that is fed through it. Clean the ADF under the following conditions:
• The ADF rollers are visibly dirty.
• The ADF has trouble feeding documents.
• Vertical streaks appear in images scanned by the ADF.
• After scanning a document that is dusty, dirty, or has pencil writing on it through the ADF.
• The environment is dusty.
If you use the ADF several times per week, monthly cleaning is recommended. Set up a cleaning routine that is
appropriate for the scanner.
1. Press the Power switch to the off position, and then disconnect the USB cable and power cable from the
scanner.
2. Open the scanner lid.
