Cleaning the Scanner
To keep your scanner operating at its best, clean it periodically using the following procedure.
If the glass surface of the ADF is stained with a hard-to-remove substance, use a genuine Epson cleaning kit to
remove the stains. Use a small amount of cleaner on the cleaning cloth to remove the stains.

Important:
❏
Do not press the glass surface of the document glass with any force.
❏
Be careful not to scratch or damage the glass surface of the document glass, and do not use a hard or abrasive
brush to clean it. A damaged glass surface can decrease the scan quality.
❏
Never use alcohol, thinner, or any corrosive solvent to clean the scanner. Deformation or discoloration may occur.
❏
Be careful not to spill liquid into the product mechanism or electronic components. This could permanently
damage the mechanism and circuitry.
❏
Do not spray lubricants to the product.
❏
Never open the scanner case.
❏
When using the Epson cleaning kit, make sure to put the liquid in the cleaning cloth before use. If the liquid
dropped directly inside the scanner, the product could be damaged.
1.
Turn off the product.
2.
Unplug the AC adapter cord from the product.
3.
Clean the outer case with a cloth dampened with mild detergent and water.
4.
If the glass surface gets dirty, clean it with a soft dry cloth. If the glass surface is stained with grease or some
other hard-to-remove material, use a small amount of glass cleaner and a soft cloth to remove it. Wipe off all
remaining liquid.
Make sure that dust does not build up on the glass surface. Dust can cause spots and straight lines in your
scanned images.
