Regular Maintenance
Clean the scanner on a regular basis as described below to maintain peak scanning quality.
CAUTION
•When cleaning the scanner or inside of the scanner, turn OFF the power switch and unplug the Power Cord from the outlet.
•Scanner power needs to be turned on when cleaning the metal rollers. Because of this, you need to exercise extra caution when cleaning them.
•Do not use spray type cleaners to clean the scanner. Precision mechanisms, such as the light source, may get wet, which will cause a malfunction.
•Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents to clean the scanner. Such solvents can damage or discolor the exterior of the scanner. They also create a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Cleaning the Scanner
To clean the front of the scanner, moisten a cloth with plain water, wring out excess water, wipe the surface and then dry it with a clean dry cloth.
Cleaning Inside the Scanner
Dust or paper particles inside the scanner can cause lines in scanned images. Use a blower for regular cleaning of dust and paper particles from inside the scanner. After finishing a large scanning job, you should turn OFF the scanner and then clean any paper particles that are remaining.
