CAUTION: Avoid placing items that have sharp edges in the scanner. Doing so can damage the scanner. Before placing an item on the scanner glass, make sure that the item does not contain wet glue, correction fluid, or other substances that can be transferred to the glass.

Clean the scanner glass

Cleaning of the scanner glass helps ensure high-quality scans. The amount of care needed depends upon several factors, including the amount of use and the environment. You should perform routine cleaning as necessary.

1.Disconnect the USB cable from the scanner.

2.Clean the glass using a soft, lint-free cloth that has been sprayed with a mild glass cleaner, and dry the glass with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.

CAUTION: Use only glass cleaner. Avoid abrasives, acetone, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride, all of which can damage the scanner glass. Avoid isopropyl alcohol because it can leave streaks on the glass.

Do not spray the glass cleaner directly on the glass. If too much glass cleaner is applied, the cleaner could run to the edges and damage the scanner.

3.When you have finished, reconnect the USB cable to the scanner.
