Cleaning procedures
Cleaning your scanner and performing preventative maintenance on a regular
basis is required to ensure the best possible image quality.
Some document types generate more paper dust and debris and may require
more frequent cleaning.
Before cleaning your scanner or replacing consumables, review the following
information:
•
Some debris from the rubber tires on the feed module and separation roller
is normal. Tire debris does not always mean that the tires are worn or
damaged. After cleaning, inspect the tires for wear and replace the
separation roller, feed module or tires if necessary.
•
When cleaning rollers/tires, allow the rollers/tires to dry completely before
scanning.
•
Use only the recommended cleaning supplies. Using unapproved cleaning
fluids or solvents may damage the rubber tires.
•
Do not use cleaners in confined areas, use with adequate ventilation.
•
Do not use cleaners on hot surfaces. Allow surfaces to cool to ambient
temperature before cleaning.
•
Do not use canned/compressed air. Use of compressed air may cause
dust to be forced into the scanner’s imaging system and lodge in an area
that causes image quality issues and cannot be cleaned without removing
the camera.
•
Do not use flammable compressed aerosols on or around the scanner.
•
In addition to the recommended cleaning supplies, you may use a vacuum
cleaner to remove debris from the scanner.
•
Staticide wipes contain isopropanol which can cause eye irritation and dry
skin. Wash your hands with soap and water after performing maintenance
procedures. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for more
information. The MSDS is available on the Kodak website at
www.kodak.com/go/MSDS
.
NOTE:
To access the MSDS, you will need to provide the catalog number
of the supply. See “Supplies and Consumables” later in this
chapter for catalog numbers.
•
The roller cleaning pad contains sodium lauryl ether sulfate and sodium
silicate which can cause eye irritation. Refer to the MSDS for more
information.
