Maintenance

Daily Maintenance

Clean the scanner on a regular basis as described below to maintain scanning quality.

WARNING

For safety reasons, make sure you close the feed tray, turn OFF the power, and disconnect the USB cable before cleaning the outside and inside of the scanner.

Do not use spray cleaners to clean the scanner. The light source and other precision mechanisms may get wet and become damaged.

Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents to clean the scanner. The exterior of the scanner may become deformed, discolored, or melted. Such solvents may also cause a fire or electric shock.

Cleaning the Outside of the Scanner

To clean the outside of the scanner, wipe off any dirt with a cloth that has been dampened with water or mild detergent solution and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe the scanner dry with a clean dry cloth.

CAUTION

Do not use a tissue, paper towel, coarse cloth, or the like because it may scratch the surface of the scanner.

Do not use a dirty cloth because it may result in scratches.

Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner

Dust or paper particles collecting inside the scanner may cause streaks to appear on scanned images. Using a blower or the like, periodically remove dust and paper particles that have collected inside the scanner. After finishing a large scanning job, for example, close the feed tray, turn OFF the scanner, disconnect any USB cables, and then remove the paper particles.

Cleaning the Scanning Glass, Separation Pad and Rollers

If scanned images contain streaks or scanned documents become dirty, the scanning glass, separation pad and rollers inside the scanner are likely to be dirty. Clean them periodically.

1 Open the feed tray.
