Care and Maintenance Tips

Regularly clean the object glass of the scanner to prevent dirt or smudge build-up

that may reduce the quality of your scanned images. Before you clean the object

glass, make sure the scanner power is off and the power cord is unplugged.

Clean the object glass of the scanner with a soft damp cloth and a mild detergent or

alcohol.

Note: Avoid spraying cleaning fluid directly on the object glass. This may cause the

liquid to penetrate the seams around the glass and contaminate the mirrors

and lenses inside the scanner. Spray the liquid on the cleaning cloth then wipe

the glass clean.

Be sure that nothing covers the calibration area. It is important to keep the

calibration area clean since dust or smudge marks on the glass will reduce the quality

of scanned transparencies.

Do not leave transparencies on the object glass of the scanner for excessive periods

of time. The warmth of the scanner lamps may cause them to deteriorate. Please, use

the frame holders to secure the transparencies for scanning.
