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.

Routine cleaning and maintenance should include cleaning the scanner glass, the transparent materials adapter (TMA), and the automatic document feeder (ADF).

Caution Avoid placing items that have sharp edges in the scanner. Doing so can damage the scanner. Before placing an item on the scanner glass, make sure that the item does not contain wet glue, correction fluid, or other substances that can be transferred to the glass.

Clean the scanner glass

1.Disconnect the universal serial bus (USB) cable and power cable from the scanner.

2.Open the scanner lid.

3.Clean the glass by using a soft, lint-free cloth that has been sprayed with a mild glass cleaner. Dry the glass with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.

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.

4.When you have finished, reconnect the USB cable and power cable to the scanner.
