4-1 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.

■Do not use spray type cleaners to clean the scanner. Precision mechanisms, such as the light source, may get wet, and cause a malfunction.

■Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents to clean the scanner. Such solvents can damage or discolor the exterior of the scanner, or 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 moisture.

Cleaning the Feed Path

Dust or paper particles in the document feed opening or inside the scanner can cause lines in scanned images. Use compressed air to periodically clean dust and paper particles from the document feed opening and the inside of the scanner. After finishing a large scanning job, turn OFF the scanner and then clean out any paper particles.
