Description
Cleaning the scanner (8400F)
Solution
| |
Clean off the dirt and dust that adheres to the exterior, document glass and document cover of the scanner during the course of ordinary operation using the following procedures. |
| |
|
| |
 |
Unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet and detach the USB cable from the computer. |
| |
 |
When cleaning the document cover or document glass, dampen a clean, soft cloth with water and wring the cloth well. Use the well-wrung cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. Then, thoroughly remove any moisture or water vapor with a soft, dry cloth. Be particularly careful to remove any traces of dirt or liquid when wiping the document glass. |
| |
| * |
Moisture left on the document glass or cover may damage photographs and other documents as well as produce poor results. |
| * |
Do not dampen the connectors, ports or other metallic components on the scanner's back panel. Immediately remove any moisture that contacts these components by wiping them with a dry cloth. |
| * |
Do not use an excessively wet cloth or apply a liquid to any portion of the scanner. Any moisture that enters the interior, the underside of the document glass or the sensors may degrade image quality and lead to malfunctions. |
| * |
Never use substances containing alcohol, thinner or benzene on the equipment. Use of these substances may deform, discolor or dissolve the casing. |
