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:
•Turn the scanner off and unplug it from the wall outlet before performing maintenance procedures.
•Remove any jewelry or any items from hands or wrists that could become caught on internal scanner components.
•Some debris from the rubber tires on the pick and drive rollers 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 tires or pick and drive roller tires 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 flammable compressed aerosols on or around the scanner.
NOTE: To access the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), you will need to provide the catalog number or keyword of the supply. See “Supplies and Consumables” later in this chapter for catalog numbers.
