Cleaning Your Scanner
To keep your product working at its best, you should clean it several times a year.
Caution: Do not use a hard brush, alcohol, or paint thinner to clean the product or you may damage it.
Do not use oil or other lubricants inside the product or let water get inside it. Do not open the product's
outer case.
1. Turn off the scanner and unplug the AC adapter.
2. Disconnect any connected cables.
3. Clean the outer case with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.
Note: If the outer case still requires additional cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the outer
case. Then wipe the case with a soft, dry cloth.

Cleaning Inside Your Scanner
Clean inside your scanner regularly to make sure that no dust builds up on the glass scanning surfaces.
Dust can cause spots or lines in your scanned images.
Caution: Because of the speed at which photos are scanned, dust particles on your photos can cause
white lines to appear in scanned images, and in extreme cases can lightly scratch the protective finish on
your photos. For best results, wipe off the front and back of your photos before scanning and use the
included microfiber cloth to clean the scanner rollers after every 300 scans, or even before each
scanning session.
