1. Regular Maintenance
Clean the scanner on a regular basis as described below to maintain peak 
scanning quality.
CAUTION
• When cleaning the scanner or inside of the scanner, turn OFF 
the power switch and unplug the Power Cord from the outlet.
• Do not use excessive force when removing or attaching the
rollers. Doing so may damage them.
• Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents to
clean the scanner. Such solvents can damage or discolor the 
exterior of the scanner. They also create a risk of fire or electrical 
shock.
Cleaning the Scanner
To clean the exterior of the scanner, dampen a cloth with water or a mild 
detergent, wring the cloth out thoroughly, and then wipe the dirt away. Then 
use a dry, soft cloth to wipe away any moisture.
Cleaning the feed path
Dust or paper particles in the document feed opening or inside the scanner can 
cause lines in scanned images. Use a blower to periodically clean dust and 
paper particles from the document feed opening and the inside of the scanner. 
After finishing a large scanning job, you should turn off the scanner and then 
clean out any paper particles.
