Cleaning the Scanner

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 input tray, and pull the lever to open the scanner cover.

  2. Wipe the glass surface inside the scanner cover. Wipe with a dedicated cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth. If the glass surface is very dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a small amount of dedicated cleaner or water.

    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.

    • Do not spray cleaner directly onto the glass surface.

  3. Close the scanner cover with both hands. Next, close the input tray.

Note:

If the Glass Dirt Detection error message appears frequently, you can change the detection level.

Select Settings > Scanner Settings > Glass Dirt Detection on the scanner's control panel.
