Routine Cleaning
Clean the flatbed on a regular basis to maintain scanning
performance.
WARNING
For safety, always turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the
power cord from the power outlet before cleaning the flatbed.
Do not use spray-type cleaners to clean the flatbed. Precision
mechanisms may get wet and malfunction.
Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other solvents to clean the
flatbed. Doing so may deform, discolor, or dissolve surfaces, or result
in a fire or electric shock.
Cleaning the Flatbed
Use a cloth dampened with water and thoroughly wrung out to clean
the outside of the flatbed, and use a clean dry cloth to wipe the flatbed
dry.
Cleaning the Scanning Glass and
Pressure Board
If dirt appears in scanned images, or if scanned documents become
dirty, the scanning glass and pressure board may be dirty. Be sure to
clean them regularly.
1
Open the document cover gently, and use a clean, dry
cloth to wipe the scanning glass and pressure board
clean.
2
Close the document cover gently.
CAUTION
If you use excessive force when you close the document cover,
it may result in damage to the glass, malfunction, or personal
injury.
