Regular Maintenance

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

CAUTION

When cleaning the scanner, turn OFF the power switch and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

Do not use excessive force when removing or attaching the rollers. Doing so may damage them.

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 exterior of the scanner, dampen a cloth with water or a mild detergent, wring the cloth out thoroughly, and then wipe the dirt away. Then use a dry, soft cloth to wipe away any remaining moisture.

Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner

Dust or paper particles inside the scanner can cause lines in scanned images. Use compressed air 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 off any paper particles that are remaining.
