AUTION
Avoid using any type of cotton swab or any item that may leave lint behind. These types of
cleaning items can cause further problems with sensors functioning properly.
WARNING
Make sure to power OFF the scanner before applying forced air to the sensors.
CAUTION
If using forced air to clean the sensors, do NOT turn the can of forced air upside down or tip it
sideways more than 40 degrees while using. The extension tube can be bent so as to avoid
having to tip the can.
To clean the transport sensor, perform the following:
1. Power OFF the scanner (see 1.4.2 Scanner Back, “
Power Switch” on page 11)
2. Open the scanner’s transport cover (see 1.4.1 Scanner Front, “
Transport Cover” on page 7
and “
Transport Cover Release Levers” on page 7))
3. Using the supplied blower brush, squeeze the blower brush to push short bursts of air into the
opening for the sensors. At the same time, sweep the brush end down into the opening of and
across each of the sensors
4. Clean all the items in the scanner’s Optics group (glass flats, cameras’ glass covers, sensors)
5. Close the scanner’s transport cover
6. Once all the items that make up the scanner’s
Optics have been cleaned, reset the Optics main-

the scanner (see ”2.2
