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 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.

 

Cleaning the Sensors

Dust and debris that collect 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.
