Scanner maintenance tasks
Scanner maintenance will ensure optimal performance of your scanner. There are 2 basic maintenance tasks:
1.
Cleaning
Keep your scanner clean – the next section describes how to thoroughly clean the internal scan area. How often you need to clean will depend on how often
and the types of media you scan. If your work primarily involves scanning newspapers and old blueprints you may need to clean more often than users who
only scan brochures and new drawings. Be sure to clean the scanner when results are not optimal. See more under the section:
Cleaning the scan area.
2.
Calibration
Calibrate the scanner if your output is not optimal and cleaning (above) does not remedy the problem. Calibration will renew the scanner’s original color and
BW precision. Scanner Calibration is easy to perform. Just insert a Calibration Sheet and run the Calibration Wizard.. Make sure the scanner is clean before
calibrating. See more under the section:
Scanner Calibration

3.
Replacing worn parts
