You are recommended to clean the scanner's glass plate periodically, depending on how often you use the scanner.
-
Turn off the printer using the Power key at the front, then also turn off the power switch at the rear and disconnect the power cable.
-
There is a small lever at the rear left of the scanner. Slide the lever up and open the scanner cover.
warning:
Do not lift the scanner while the scanner cover is open. Your fingers or hand may be trapped or crushed. -
Gently wipe the glass plate and the surrounding area with a lint-free cloth dampened with water and then wrung dry. A suitable cloth is provided with the printer.
caution:
Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene or fluids that contain these chemicals. Do not spray liquids directly onto the scanner glass plate or anywhere else in the scanner.
Do not worry about tiny droplets of water left on the glass: they will evaporate. -
Optionally, for more thorough cleaning:
-
Remove the glass plate and clean it on both sides. See Replace the scanner’s glass plateReplace the scanner’s glass plate.
-
Clean the pressure rollers and the feed rollers.
-
-
Close the scanner cover and gently push it down to lock it into place.
-
Clean the area immediately in front of the scanner, where the scanned sheet rests before scanning.
-
Reconnect the printer's power cable, turn on the power switch at the rear, and turn on the printer using the Power key.
