Cleaning procedures Cleaning your scanner and performing preventative maintenance on a regular basis is required to ensure the best possible image quality.
Some document types generate more paper dust and debris and may require more frequent cleaning.
Before cleaning your scanner or replacing consumables, review the following information:
•Some debris from the rubber tires on the feed module and separation roller is normal. Tire debris does not always mean that the tires are worn or damaged. After cleaning, inspect the tires for wear and replace the separation roller or feed module if necessary.
•When cleaning rollers/tires, allow the rollers/tires to dry completely before scanning.
•Use only the recommended cleaning supplies. Using unapproved cleaning fluids or solvents may damage the rubber tires.
•Do not use cleaners in confined areas, use with adequate ventilation.
•Do not use cleaners on hot surfaces. Allow surfaces to cool to ambient temperature before cleaning.
•Do not use canned/compressed air. Use of compressed air may cause dust to be forced into the scanner’s imaging system and lodge in an area that causes image quality issues and cannot be cleaned without removing the camera.
•Do not use flammable compressed aerosols on or around the scanner.
•In addition to the recommended cleaning supplies, you may use a vacuum cleaner to remove debris from the scanner.
•Staticide wipes contain isopropanol which can cause eye irritation and dry skin. Wash your hands with soap and water after performing maintenance procedures. Refer to the Material Data Safety Sheet (MSDS) for more information. The MSDS is available on the Kodak website at www.kodak.com/go/MSDS.
NOTE: To access the MSDS, you will need to provide the catalog number of the supply. See “Supplies and Consumables” later in this chapter for catalog numbers.
•The roller cleaning pad contains sodium lauryl ether sulfate and sodium silicate which can cause eye irritation. Refer to the MSDS for more information.
