Maintaining and
Transporting Your Scanner

This chapter describes basic maintenance instructions and tells you how to transport
your scanner safely.

Cleaning the Scanner

To keep your scanner operating at its best, you should clean it periodically. Before
cleaning, unplug the power cord. Then clean the outer case using a soft cloth with
mild detergent dissolved in water.

If the document table glass gets dirty, clean it with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. If the
glass is stained with grease or other hard-to-remove material, use a small amount of
glass cleaner on a soft cloth to remove it. Wipe off any remaining liquid with a dry,
lint-free cloth.

Be sure there’s no dust on your document table. Dust can cause white spots to appear
in your scanned image.

Always unplug the scanner before cleaning.

Never use an abrasive brush or cleaning product to clean the document
table. A damaged glass surface can decrease the scanning quality.

Never use alcohol, thinner, or corrosive solvent to clean the scanner.
These chemicals can damage the scanner components and case.

Don’t spray lubricants or spill liquid into the scanner mechanism or
electronic components. This could permanently damage them.

Never open the scanner case.

Unplug the scanner and consult your dealer or contact EPSON if the
power cord or plug is damaged, if liquid has entered the scanner, if the
scanner has been dropped or the case damaged, or if the scanner does
not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.
