Cleaning the scanner

B

a

Lift the document cover (1). Clean the
scanner glass (2) and the white
plastic (3) with a soft lint-free cloth
moistened with a non-flammable glass
cleaner.

b

In the ADF unit, clean the white bar (1)
and the glass strip (2) with a lint-free
cloth moistened with a non-flammable
glass cleaner.

Note

In addition to cleaning the scanner glass
and glass strip with a non-flammable glass
cleaner, run your finger tip over the glass
to see if you can feel anything on it. If you
feel dirt or debris, clean the glass again
concentrating on that area. You may need
to repeat the cleaning process three or
four times. To test, make a copy after each
cleaning attempt.
