Cleaning the Scanner
To keep your scanner operating at its best, you should clean it periodically. Before
cleaning, unplug the power cord.
Use a soft cloth to clean the outer case with mild detergent dissolved in water.
If the document table glass gets dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. If the glass is
stained with grease or other hard-to-remove material, use a small amount of glass
cleaner on a soft cloth to remove it. Wipe off any remaining liquid with a dry cloth.
Be sure there’s no dust on your document table. Dust can cause white spots to appear
in your scanned image.
Never use a harsh or abrasive brush or cleaning product to
clean the document table. A damaged glass surface can
decrease the scanning quality.
Never use alcohol, thinner, or corrosive solvent to clean the
scanner. These chemicals can damage the scanner
components as well as the case.
Be careful not to spill liquid into the scanner mechanism or
electronic components. This could permanently damage
them.
Don’t spray lubricants inside the scanner.
Never open the scanner case. If you think repairs or
adjustments are necessary, consult your dealer or contact
EPSON.
