Care and Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance from the your scanner, it is important to clean several critical
parts of the scanner on a regular basis. Please follow the sections below to clean each part
carefully.
First of all, open the scanner cover, as detailed in the “Fixing the Paper Jams” section in this
guide. When the scanner cover is opened, locate the parts as you wish to clean.
Cleaning the Scanner Glass Surfaces
Spot two scanner glass surfaces, and then use
a soft, non-abrasive and lint-free cloth to
gently wipe the glass surface areas.
Cleaning the Rollers
Find several groups of rollers, and then clean
the rollers with a lint-free cloth or a swab
moistened with alcohol (ethanol) or water.
Cleaning the Sensors
Find 4 sets of sensors (Ultrasonic Double-feed
sensors, I/O sensors, and Tray sensors), and
then clean the sensors with a dust blower.
Cleaning the Recesses
Locate two recesses at the top of the roller
cover, and then clean the recesses with a lint-
free cloth or a swab moistened with alcohol
(ethanol) or ECO cleaner.
NOTE
:
•
The recommended cleaning cycle time would be after approximately 3,000 to 5,000 scans.
•
For more details on cleaning, refer to the scanner’s User’s Manual in the Microtek Software CD/DVD
and see the “Care and Cleaning” section on pages 44 to 47.
