Cleaning the Scanner
To keep your scanner operating at its best, you should clean it
periodically. Before cleaning, unplug the power cord.
Use a soft cloth to clean the outer case with mild detergent dissolved in
water.
If the document table glass gets dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. If the
glass is stained with grease or other hard-to-remove material, use a small
amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth to remove it. Wipe off any
remaining liquid with a dry cloth.
Be sure there’s no dust on your document table. Dust can cause white
spots to appear in your scanned image.
Be careful not to
scratch or damage the
document table glass,
and don’t use a hard or
abrasive brush to clean
it. A damaged glass
surface can decrease
scanning quality.
Never use alcohol,
thinner, or corrosive
solvent to clean the
scanner. These
chemicals can
damage the scanner
components and the
case.
Don’t spray lubricants
inside the scanner. Be
careful not to spill liquid
in the scanner. This
could permanently
damage the scanner.
