Scanning

Scanning digitizes documents and pictures, and sends the digital files to your computer.

When you scan, the digital file can:

• Be saved in a format and location that you determine

• Open in a third-party scanner software (such as MICROSOFT Paint)

Scanning from a software program on the computer

gives you more options, but you

Maintaining Your Printer

Your printer requires little maintenance. However, Advent recommends cleaning the scanner glass and lid regularly to remove dust and fingerprints, which affect the quality and accuracy of scanning.

Except while cleaning the printer, keep the printer plugged into an AC power outlet. If you use a power strip, don't turn off the power strip. (The printer does not need to be turned on but should be plugged in.)

For optimal performance, keep the printer connected to a computer that is powered on and has the ADVENT All-in-One Printer Software installed.

Keep the printhead and ink cartridges in the printer at all times to help prevent damage to the printhead.

For recycling and/or disposal information, contact your local authorities.

General care and cleaning

CAUTION:

Always disconnect the power to the printer before cleaning it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on any part of the printer.

• To clean the printer, wipe the outside with a clean, dry cloth.

• Keep the surrounding area vacuumed and litter-free.

• Protect the printer from tobacco smoke, dust, and liquid spills.

• Do not place objects on the printer.

• Keep the input tray free of dust, dirt, and other foreign objects.

• Keep the printer supplies away from direct sunlight and out of high-temperature environments.

• Do not allow chemicals to come into contact with the printer.

adventprintersupport.custhelp.com 31

ADVENT A10 All-in-One Printer

Cleaning the scanner glass and document backing

The scanner glass can get smudged and minor debris can accumulate on the white document backing under the scanner lid. Periodically clean the scanner glass and document backing.

CAUTION:

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on any part of the printer. Do not spray liquid directly on the glass. Do not use paper-based wipes on the document backing as they can scratch it.

To clean the scanner glass and document backing under the scanner lid:

1. Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power outlet.

2. Lift the scanner lid.

3. Wipe the glass with a soft cloth or sponge, slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner.
