3.
Clean the main scanner glass, the document-
feeder glass (the small strip of glass on the left
side of the scanner), and the white foam
backing. Use a soft cloth or sponge that has
been moistened with nonabrasive glass
cleaner. Dry the glass and white plastic
backing by using a chamois or a cellulose
sponge to prevent spotting.
CAUTION:
Do not use abrasives, acetone,
benzene, ammonia, ethyl alcohol, or carbon
tetrachloride on any part of the product; these
can damage the product. Do not place liquids
directly on the glass or platen. They might seep
and damage the product.
NOTE:
If you are having trouble with streaks
on copies when you are using the document
feeder, be sure to clean the small strip of glass
on the left side of the scanner.
