Cleaning the Scan Area
On Scanners:
1.
Turn the scanner power off and disconnect the power plug.
2. Place your fingers in the insertion slot and flip open the scanning area lid.
3. Press down on the extended media thickness adjustment slider on the right side of the
pressure-platen.
4. While maintaining pressure, slide the right extended media thickness adjustment slider
towards the middle of the pressure-platen (see illustration below).
5. Push the slider all the way until the metal safety button under the slider pops up (see
illustration below).
6. Repeat the process on the left side.
7. Make sure the platen is completely free.
8. On the topside of the pressure-platen are one or two hinged handles. Flip up the
handles and use them to lift out the pressure-platen (see illustration below).
9. The glass-plate is now exposed for cleaning. Clean the glass with a lint-free cloth and a
mild, streak-free, glass cleaner. Dry the glass completely using a separate clean, dry
lint-free cloth like the one provided with the maintenance kit.
10. The white-background-platen is on the backside of the pressure-platen you just
removed. Flip the pressure-platen over to clean the white background.
11. Wipe the white area and the transport rollers with a lint-free cloth and a mild, streak-
free, glass cleaner. Apply the cleaner to the cloth and first wipe the platen’s white area
and then the transport roller’s surface.
12. Dry the pressure-platen and rollers completely using separate clean, dry lint-free cloths.
13. Reverse the above procedure to reinsert the pressure-platen. On each end, you will
need to press down the metal button before you can move the slider back from the Exit
position.
14. Clean also the scanner surface so dirt and dust are not dragged into the scan area with
the original.
15. Cover your scanner with the plastic dust cover when not in use.
Caution
: Make sure the scanner power is OFF when using the scanner dust cover.
