Routine Cleaning

Clean the flatbed on a regular basis to maintain scanning performance.

WARNING

For safety, always turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning the flatbed. Do not use spray-type cleaners to clean the flatbed. Precision mechanisms may get wet and malfunction.

Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other solvents to clean the flatbed. Doing so may deform, discolor, or dissolve surfaces, or result in a fire or electric shock.

Cleaning the Flatbed

Use a cloth dampened with water and thoroughly wrung out to clean the outside of the flatbed, and use a clean dry cloth to wipe the flatbed dry.

Cleaning the Scanning Glass and Pressure Board

If dirt appears in scanned images, or if scanned documents become dirty, the scanning glass and pressure board may be dirty. Be sure to clean them regularly.

1 Open the document cover gently, and use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the scanning glass and pressure board clean.
