Care and maintenance
Occasional cleaning of your scanner helps ensure optimal performance. The
amount of care necessary depends upon several factors, including the amount
of use and the environment. You should perform routine cleaning as necessary.
Caution Avoid placing items with sharp edges in the scanner. Doing so
can damage the scanner. Before placing an item on the scanner glass,
make sure the item is free of wet glue, correction fluid, or other
substances that can be transferred to the glass.
●Clean the scanner glass
Disconnect the USB cable and power cable from the scanner.
Clean the glass using a soft, lint-free cloth sprayed with a mild glass
cleaner, drying the glass with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.
Caution Use only glass cleaner. Avoid 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.
