Clean the scanner glass
NOTE: Dust or dirt on the scanner glass, scanner lid backing, or scanner frame
can slow down performance, degrade the quality of scans, and affect the accuracy
of special features such as fitting copies to a certain page size.
To clean the scanner glass
1. Turn the printer off. For more information, see Turn off the printer.
2. Lift the scanner lid.
3. Clean the glass by using a soft, lint-free cloth that has been sprayed with a mild
glass cleaner. Dry the glass with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.
CAUTION: Use only glass cleaner to clean the scanner glass. Avoid cleaners
that contain abrasives, acetone, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride, all of which
can damage the scanner glass. Avoid isopropyl alcohol because it can leave
streaks on the glass.
CAUTION: Do not spray the glass cleaner directly on the glass. If too much
glass cleaner is applied, the cleaner could leak under the glass and damage the
scanner.
4. Close the scanner lid, and turn on the printer.
Clean the exterior
WARNING! Before cleaning the printer, turn off the power and unplug the power
cord from the electrical socket.
