Keeping your
scanner clean
For best scanning results it is suggested that you frequently perform a
quick
cleaning sequence in between your routine,
thorough
cleaning
procedures. This level of cleaning can be done frequently, perhaps as
often as every 100 prints or when streaks appear on an image(s). Refer
to Chapter 5,
Maintenance
for detailed cleaning procedures.
To do a quick cleaning:
1. Open the scanner cover and look at the imaging area for any
noticeable dust particles.
2. Wipe the imaging area with a microfiber cloth to remove any loose
dust particles.
3. After wiping the glass, re-inspect for any visible dust particles.
4. Close the scanner cover and evaluate the subsequent scans. If
streaking or other problems remain, it may be necessary to do a
more thorough cleaning. You can:
• Wipe the imaging area with Brillianize
Detailer
wipes. These
wipes provide an excellent, alcohol-free cleaning process. This
two-step process includes a wet de-static wipe and a dry silicon-
based polish that leaves the scanner with a clean, clear, anti-
static finish.
• Run a transport cleaning sheet through the scanner to pick up
loose dust particles, especially on the rollers. Depending on how
dirty the scanner is, these sheets can be used several times.
Discard the cleaning sheet when it is very dirty.
• For more extensive cleaning, see Chapter 5.
