Maintenance
Cleaning the scanner
To keep your scanner operating at its best, you should clean it
periodically, as described below.
1. Unplug the power cord.
2. Clean the outer case with a cloth dampened with mild
detergent and water.
3. If the glass of the document table gets dirty, clean it with a
soft dry cloth. If the glass 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. Wipe off all remaining liquid.
Be sure that there is no dust on the glass of the document table.
Dust can cause white spots in your scanned image.

Caution:
❏
Be careful not to scratch or damage the glass of the document
table, and do not use a hard or abrasive brush to clean it. A
damaged glass surface can decrease the scanning quality.
❏
Never use alcohol, thinner, or corrosive solvent to clean the
scanner. These chemicals can damage the scanner
components as well as 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.
