Maintenance
To keep your scanner operating at its best, you should clean it
periodically. Before cleaning, unplug the power cable.
Clean the outer case with mild detergent dissolved in water.
If the glass of the document table gets dirty, clean it with a soft
dry cloth. If the glass is stained with grease or other hard-to-
remove material, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft
cloth to remove it. Wipe off any remaining liquid with a dry
cloth.
Be sure that there is no dust on the glass of the document table.
Dust can cause white spots in your scanned image.
Warning:
Be careful not to get water on the scanner mechanism or
electrical components.
Caution:
Do not scratch or damage the glass
of
the document table, and
do not use a hard or abrasive brush to clean it. A damaged
glass surface can decrease the scanning quality.
Never use alcohol, thinner or corrosive solvent to clean the
scanner. These chemicals can damage
the
scanner components
as well as the case.
Be careful not to spill liquid into the scanner mechanism or
electronic components. This could permanently damage the
mechanism and circuitry.
Do not spray lubricants inside the scanner.
Never open the scanner case.
