Cleaning the Scanner
Cleaning the inside of the scanner helps to keep your scanner operating at optimum performance. You should clean the inside of the scanner at least once a week or after 1,000 pages have been scanned. If you are getting frequent paper jams, multiple pages feeding at the same time, or you’re seeing lines in the scanned image, it is time to clean the scanner.
Note: Be careful when cleaning the rollers. All of the rollers, except the free rollers, are designed to rotate in one direction only. Do NOT force the roller to rotate in the opposite direction. Forcing the roller to rotate will damage it, and cause the scanner to feed pages incorrectly.
1.Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl rubbing alcohol (95%).
2.Open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
3.Wipe clean the feed rollers and scanner glass in the scanner body.
4.Close the cover when you’re finished.
Please be careful when cleaning the rollers. The rollers are designed to rotate in one direction only. As you’re cleaning the roller, make sure it rotates easily, and continue rotating it in that direction while wiping it clean. Do NOT force the roller to rotate in the opposite direction. Forcing the roller to rotate will damage the scanner, and may cause the scanner to feed pages incorrectly.
