Cleaning the Scanner
New :For a single scanner
To keep your scanner operating at its best, clean it periodically
using the following procedure.
1. Turn off the scanner using its power button.
2. Unplug the AC adapter cord from the scanner.
3. Clean the outer case with a cloth dampened with mild
detergent and water.
4. If the glass surface of the document table gets dirty, clean it
with a soft dry cloth. If the glass surface is stained with
grease or some other hard-to-remove material, use a small
amount of glass cleaner and a soft cloth to remove it. Do
not apply cleaner directly to the glass; apply it to the cloth
and then clean the glass. Wipe off any remaining moisture.
Make sure that no dust builds up on the surface of the
document table. Dust can cause spots in your scanned
images.
5. If the underside of the ADF gets dirty, clean it as described
in step 4. Also be sure to clean the left side of the document
table.
Caution:
Do not press the glass surface of the document table with any
force.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the glass surface of the
document table, and do not use a hard or abrasive brush to clean it.
A damaged glass surface can decrease the scan quality.
Never use alcohol, thinner, or corrosive solvent to clean the
scanner. These chemicals can damage the scanner components
and the case.
Be careful not to spill liquid into the scanner mechanism or
electronic components. This could permanently damage the
mechanism and circuitry.
Do not spray lubricants inside the scanner.
Never open the scanner case.
Transporting the Scanner

for an extended period of time, you need to lock the scanner’s
carriage to prevent damage.

the scanner using its power button, and wait until the lights
stop flashing.
2. When the

light is green, turn off the scanner using
it’s power button.
3. On the side of the scanner, slide the transportation lock to
the locked position to secure the scanner carriage.
4. Attach the protective materials, then repack the scanner in
