Clean the scanning strips
Clean both strips of glass inside the document feeder periodically, including any time a scanned
image has streaks. Lightly dust the small strips of gray reflective material if debris is present.
To clean these components, follow these steps:
1. Press the Power (
) button to turn off the scanner, and then disconnect the USB cable and
power supply from the scanner.
2. Open the document feeder hatch.
3. Clean the strips with a soft, lint-free cloth that has been sprayed with a mild glass cleaner.
CAUTION: Use only glass cleaner to clean the scanning strips. Avoid cleaners that contain
abrasives, acetone, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride, all of which can damage the scanning
strips. Avoid isopropyl alcohol because it can leave streaks on the scanning strips.
Do not spray the glass cleaner directly on the scanning strips.
