7. Maintenance 

Regular scanner maintenance is a sure way to minimize costly 
downtime. The three routine maintenance procedures cleaning, 
camera alignment and calibration will improve image quality and 
reduce your service costs.  
The three functions are closely entwined and they should all be 
performed in a maintenance session, starting with cleaning the scan 
area and ending with calibration. The reason for this is simple. If you 
clean the glass or adjust the cameras then you will have changed 
conditions in the scanning area and will need to calibrate in order to 
readjust black, white and color interpretation. This works the other way 
as well – scanner calibration must always be preceded by cleaning 
and camera alignment to get reliable calibration results.  
 
The tools for scanner maintenance, including the Maintenance sheet 
for alignment and calibration were supplied with your scanner. The 
Scanner Maintenance CD-ROM that came with your scanner contains 
wizards that will check your scanner and guide you through the steps 
for perfect scanner camera alignment, stitching and calibration. Please 
install the Scanner Maintenance program from the CD-ROM before 
continuing with the steps below. It is a good idea to run through the 
maintenance procedures when you setup your scanner for the first 
time.  
 

7.1  Cleaning the Scan Area 

The glass plate and white platen. 
 

Turn the scanner power off and disconnect 
the power plug 

1  Open the scanner cover. 

Place your fingers just inside the 

insertion slot and flip the cover upwards to expose the scan area.
