Cleaning the Inside of 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 2,000 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.
When cleaning the inside of the scanner, you should clean all of the rollers, scanner glass and
background plates at the same time.
Cleaning the Scanner Glass and Background Plates
The background plates are located underneath the scanner glass in both the top and bottom of
the scanner. If you see a warning message that one of the background plates is dirty, simply clean
the scanner glass as described here.
1. Press the ADF cover release button and open the scanner.
2. The following illustration shows the location of the glass in the scanner.
3. Using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth, gently wipe clean the scanner glass and background plates.
You can use a roller cleaning paper to clean the glass plates if there is any sticky residue on
the surface.
Cleaning the Double Feed Detection Sensors
You should clean these sensors as part of your standard weekly maintenance of the scanner.
Note: Do not clean the sensors with the roller cleaning paper.
Preparation
• Turn off the scanner prior to cleaning the sensors.
