described below to maintain peak scanning quality.
Cleaning the Scanner ......................................................................... 87
Cleaning the Scanning Glass and the Rollers ................................. 88
When cleaning the scanner and the inside of the scanner, turn the 
power OFF and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
 Do not use spray cleaners to clean the scanner. Precision 
mechanisms, such as the light source, may get wet, and cause a 
malfunction.
 Never use paint thinner, alcohol,  or other organic solvents to clean 
the scanner. Such solvents can damage or discolor the exterior of the 
scanner, or create a risk of  fire or electrical shock.
Cleaning the Scanner
To clean the exterior of the scanner, dampen a cloth with water or a 
mild detergent, wring the cloth out thoroughly, and then wipe the dirt 
away. Then use a dry, soft cloth to wipe away any moisture.
Do not use a coarse cloth or dirty cloth because it may result in 
scratches.
Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner
Dust or paper particles inside the sc anner may cause lines or smudges to 
appear on scanned images. Use compress ed air to periodically clean dust 
and paper particles from the document feed opening and the inside of the 
scanner. After finishing a large scanni ng job, turn OFF the scanner and 
then clean out any paper particl es remaining inside the scanner.

Cleaning the Scanning Glass and the Rollers
If scanned images contain streaks, or if the scanned documents 
become dirty, the scanning glass or rollers inside the scanner may 
be dirty. Clean them periodically.
1Open the feed tray.
2Open the feeder cover.
3Use compressed air to remove dust and paper particles from the 
inside of the scanner.
4Remove any dirt from the scanning glass, separation pad and rollers 
inside the scanner (parts   shown in the figure).
Use a clean dry cloth to wipe off any dirt on the scanning glass.
Wipe off any dirt on the rollers with a cloth that has been dampened 
with water, and then wipe the rollers with a clean soft dry cloth.
Without needlessly rotating the roller, clean the exposed area. 
Do not spray water or neutral detergent directly on the scanner. 
Precision mechanisms, such as the light source, may get wet, and 
cause a malfunction.
Scratches on the sensor glass may  cause marks on the images, as well 
as feeding errors. If there are scratc hes on the sensor glass, contact 
your local authorized Canon dealer  or service representative.
