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.
CAUTION: Before placing an item in the auto document feeder, make sure that
the item does not contain wet glue, correction fluid, or other substances that can
be transferred to the interior of the scanner.
Make sure there are no curls, wrinkles, staples, paper clips, or any other attached
material.
Order maintenance and scanning supplies
You can purchase maintenance parts for your scanner.
1. Visit the HP scanner parts Web site at www.hp.com/buy/parts
2. Select your language, and then click the arrow.
Clean the scanner glass
Both strips of glass in the scanner should be cleaned periodically. The two small strips of
gray reflective material should be lightly dusted if debris is present.
To clean the strips of glass, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds to turn off the scanner, and then
disconnect the USB cable and power supply from the scanner.
2. Open the scanner hatch.
3. Clean the glass by using a soft, lint-free cloth that has been sprayed with a mild glass
cleaner.
CAUTION: Use only glass cleaner to clean the scanner glass. Avoid cleaners
that contain 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 leak under the glass and damage the scanner.
