8.3 Cleaning the Scan Area

when results are not optimal. These could be streaks in your scan image due to dust particles in the scan
area. Cleaning instructions for each scanner type follow below:
Caution
: Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene or fluids that contain these chemicals. Do not
spray liquids directly onto the scanner glass-plate or anywhere else in the scanner.
Caution
: Before cleaning the scan area, be sure to turn the scanner power off and disconnect the
power plug.
