Cleaning the Scanner
Use a cloth dampened with water and thoroughly wrung out to clean the outside of the scanner, and use a clean dry cloth to wipe the scanner dry.
Cleaning the Feed Path
Dust or paper particles in the document feed inlet or inside the feeder can cause spots to appear in scanned images. Use compressed air to periodically clean dust and paper particles from the inlet and inside the feeder. In particular, be sure to turn the scanner OFF, and remove the dust and paper particles after scanning a large volume of documents.
Cleaning the Scanning Glass and Pressure Board
If streaks appear 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 feeder gently, and use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the scanning glass and pressure board clean.
