  4. Wipe any dirt off the scanning glass.

  7. Wipe the removed rollers with a cloth that has been dampened with water and thoroughly wrung out.

     
  8. Reattach the retard roller and feeding roller.
     
  9. Close the upper unit by gently pushing it up on the left and right sides. Push until it clicks into place to make sure that it is completely closed.
