Daily Maintenance
Clean the scanner on a regular basis, as described below, to maintain peak scanning quality.
WARNING
•When cleaning the scanner and the inside of the scanner, turn OFF the power switch and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
•Do not use spray 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. 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.
Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner
Dust or paper particles inside the scanner may cause lines or smudges to appear on 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 remaining inside the scanner.
Cleaning the Scanning Glass and the Rollers
If scanned images contain streaks, or if the scanned documents become dirty, the scanning glass or rollers inside the scanner may be dirty. Clean them periodically.
1 Open the document feed tray. Press the OPEN button and pull open the front unit toward you.
2 Use compressed air to remove dust and paper particles from the inside of the scanner.
