Clean the Scanner

A spot of dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip may cause poor-quality scans. Clean the inside of the scanner if a vertical line appears in the scanned data or if areas are missing in the scanned data.

Unplug the machine from the AC power outlet.

Open the Top Cover (1) and the Front Cover (2).

In the document feeder unit, clean the glass strips (1) (2) with a lint-free cloth moistened with a non-flammable glass cleaner.

Hold both sides of the Pick-up Roller Cover (1) and then pull the cover down.

Slide the Pick-up Roller (1) to the right edge.

The holder of the Pick-up Roller has a narrow opening that is designed to avoid dropping the roller, and the shape of the shaft of the Pick-up Roller matches the opening. Turn the Pick-up Roller around until the shape of the shaft matches the opening of the holder.

Pinch and pull the Pick-up Roller out of the machine.

Note

In addition to cleaning the glass strips with a non-flammable glass cleaner, run your fingertip over the glass to see if you can feel anything on it. If you feel dirt or debris, clean the glass again concentrating on that area. You may need to repeat the cleaning process three or four times. To test, scan a document after each cleaning attempt.


	When there is a spot of dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip the scanned sample shows a vertical line.		After the glass strip is cleaned the vertical line is gone.
