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

CAUTION

When cleaning the scanner or inside of the scanner, turn OFF the Power Switch and unplug the power cord from the outlet.

The power needs to be ON when cleaning the rollers and the shading boards. Be careful of electric shocks when working on the scanner while the power is ON.

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.

CAUTION

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 and electrical shock.

Cleaning inside the Scanner

Dust in the scanner may cause the sensors to malfunction or leave marks on the images. Periodically use a blower to clean dust from inside the scanner.
