The computer model you are using

The application software packages that you are using

Error codes or messages seen

A description of what you were doing at the time of the malfunction so that the problem can be recreated

Other observations that may aid the technician in identifying the problem and solution

When you call, please be in front of your computer. You will need to have your scanner and the computer turned on. Try to have as much information about your problem as possible. This information allows the technician to more effectively troubleshoot your problem.

Maintenance

With the exception of periodic cleaning, the scanner is virtually maintenance-free. Please read the following section to learn how to properly maintain the scanner.

Cleaning

Regularly cleaning the object glass will ensure that dirt or smudges will not reduce the quality of your scanned images. Before you clean the glass, make sure the scanner is turned off and the power cord is unplugged.

Clean the object glass and document cover with a soft damp cloth and a mild detergent or alcohol.

Warning: Do not spray the cleaning fluid directly on the object glass. Spraying the liquid directly on the glass may cause the liquid to penetrate the seams around the glass and contaminate the mirrors and lenses inside the scanner. Please be sure you spray the liquid on the cleaning cloth and then wipe the glass clean.
