Maintenance
This chapter describes how to clean and maintain the scanner.
To ensure high-quality image scanning, regularly clean your CR-L1 as
described below.
CAUTION
•
Before you clean the scanner, turn OFF the scanner and computer, and
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Otherwise, it may cause an
electrical shock.
•
Never clean the scanner with any kind of organic solvent, such as alcohol,
benzene, or paint thinner. This may cause a fire and electrical shock, or cause
the exterior of the scanner to disfigure or discolor.
•
Never spray mild detergent or water directly on the scanning glass. The spray
could penetrate below the glass and contaminate the internal light source and
lenses.
Cleaning the Main Unit
Wipe the scanner with a firmly wrung cloth, moistened slightly with water or mild
detergent. Then, wipe off with a clean, dry cloth.
Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner
Dust or paper particles inside the scanner can cause lines in scanned images.
Use compressed air for regular cleaning of dust and paper particles from inside
the scanner. After finishing a large scanning job, you should turn OFF the
scanner and then clean off any paper particles that are remaining.
Cleaning the Scanning Glass and Rollers
If stripes appear on scanned images or if dirt appears on scanned documents,
clean the scanning glass and rollers. Clean the scanning glass and rollers
regularly.
A

Cover.

WARNING
Do not use flammable liquids to clean the scanner, including alcohol, benzene,
or paint thinner.
