Maintenance
Your scanner is designed to be maintenance-free. However, constant care and
maintenance can keep your scanner working smoothly.
Cleaning The Scanner
Paper powder, dust, ink and toner from paper being scanned may make the inner ADF
dirty, which leads to poor image quality or document-feeding errors. How often to clean
your scanner depends on the type of paper and number of pages being scanned.
Perform the following procedures to clean the scanner surface and the ADF unit. Gently
wipe locations described herein. Do not rub too hard.
Warning
● Before cleaning the scanner, turn off the scanner and disconnect the scanner’s
power cable and Ethernet cable, and then wait a few minutes for the glass and/or
the inner ADF to cool to ambient temperature.
● Wash your hands with soap and water after cleaning the scanner.
Cleaning Materials
Have the following cleaning materials ready to clean the scanner:
● Soft, dry, lint-free cloth (or a cotton swab)
● Non-abrasive cleaner—Isopropyl alcohol (95%). DO NOT use water.
Attention
● Alternatively you can use glass cleaner or neutral detergent for windows cleaning
to clean the scanner glass.
● However, DO NOT use either of them to clean the ADF feed roller or pad module.
● Use of other cleaning materials could damage your scanner.
