Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Scanner
In order to maintain the scanned image quality and prevent dust
accumulation, it is recommended that you clean the scanner (outer
casing and image sensor inside the scanner) approximately every
50-100 scans, or if vertical lines or stripes appear on the scanned
image. Use only the recommended and supplied tools to clean the
scanner.
WARNING : Do not use any solvents or corrosive liquid (i.e.,
alcohol, kerosene, etc.) to clean any part of the scanner.
Otherwise the plastic material will be permanently damaged.
Cleaning the Outer Casing
Please follow the instructions below to clean the outer casing of the
scanner when necessary.
1. Use a suitable dust blower to blow off the dust on the scanner.
2. Use a slightly dampened cloth to wipe off any smear on the
surface of the scanner.
3. Wipe the scanner with a dry and clean lint-free cloth.
Cleaning the Image Sensor
1. Clean the scanner’s outer casing first.
2. With the scanner power off and
disconnected from the computer,
insert the sensor cleaning swab
into one end of the output slot.
NOTE : Make sure that
there is no visible dust on
the swab before inserting it
into the output slot.
3. Gently slide the sensor cleaning
swab back and forth from one
end of the output slot to the other
five or six times consecutively.
NOTE : Do not apply too
much force on the swab.
