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, use a cloth moistened

with water or mild detergent solution. Wring out the cloth

thoroughly, and use a clean dry cloth to wipe the scanner

dry.

■ 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 in 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.

Cleaning the Sensors

Dust and debris that collects on the sensors may cause

documents to be recognized incorrectly. Clean the sensors

periodically using a blower, etc. so that dust and debris do not

collect on them.
