Loosening Documents
Before loading documents into the ADF, loosen them as follows: 1. Fan the documents so that no two pages are sticking together. Make sure to
remove static electricity from paper.

2. Hold the documents upside down with both hands, and then gently push them onto a flat surface to align the edges of all documents.

This will allow documents being fed into the ADF one at a time and prevent paperfeeding errors.

CHAPTER III. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your scanner is designed to be maintenance-free. However, with proper cleaning will result in smoother operations, such as, scanning more paper in less time with fewer issues.

CLEANING THE SCANNER

Paper powder, dust, ink and toner from paper being scanned may make the inner ADF dirty, which leads to poor image quality or document-feeding errors. How often should you clean your scanner depends on the type of paper and number of pages being scanned.
Perform the following procedures to clean the scanner surface and the ADF unit. Gently wipe locations described herein. Do not rub too hard.

Warning

Before cleaning the scanner, turn off the scanner and disconnect the scanner’s power cable and Ethernet cable, and then wait a few minutes for the glass and/or the inner ADF to cool to ambient temperature.
Wash your hands with soap and water after cleaning the scanner.

Cleaning Materials

Have the following cleaning materials ready to clean the scanner: soft, dry, lint-free cloth (or a cotton swab) non-abrasive cleaner–Isopropyl alcohol (95%). DO NOT use water.

Attention

Alternatively you can use glass cleaner or neutral detergent for windows cleaning to clean the scanner glass.
