Cleaning the Scanner Glass

When the scanned images are smeared or scuffed, clean the scanner glass.

Important:
  • Never use alcohol, thinner, or any corrosive solvent to clean the scanner. Doing so could cause deformation or discoloration to occur.

  • Never spray any liquid or lubricant on the scanner. Damage to equipment or circuits may cause abnormal operations.

  • Never open the scanner case.

  1. Open the document cover.

  2. Prepare a soft, dry cloth.

  3. Wipe off any stains on the scanner glass.

    Important:
    • Do not place too much force on the glass surface.

    • Do not use a brush or a hard tool. Any scratches on the glass may affect the scan quality.

    • If the glass surface is stained with grease or some other hard-to-remove material, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth to remove it. After removing the stains, wipe thoroughly to ensure no moisture remains.

    • Do not use the Epson cleaning kit to clean the scanner glass.

  4. Close the document cover.
