Daily Maintenance
Clean the scanner on a regular basis, as described below, to maintain
peak scanning quality.
CAUTION
• When cleaning the scanner and the inside of the scanner, turn OFF
the power switch and disconnect the power cord from the power
outlet.
• Do not use spray cleaners to clean the scanner. Precision
mechanisms, such as the light source, may get wet, and cause a
malfunction.
• Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents to clean
the scanner. The exterior of the scanner may become deformed,
discolored, or melted. It may also cause a fire or electric shock.
• When opening and closing the upper unit, be careful not to get your
fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury.
Cleaning the Scanner
About the Cleaning Cloth
Use the cleaning cloth supplied with the scanner to clean its interior.
Cleaning the Scanner Exterior
To clean the outside of the scanner, wipe off any dirt with a cloth that
has been dampened with water and thoroughly wrung out, and then
wipe the scanner dry with a clean dry cloth.
Cleaning the Document Feed Inlet and
Transport Path
Dust or paper particles in the document feed inlet or inside the
scanner can cause spots to appear on scanned images. Use
compressed air to periodically clean dust and paper particles from the
inlet and the inside of the scanner. After completing large scanning
jobs, turn OFF the scanner and clean out any paper particles.
