sensors, I/O sensors, and Tray sensors), and
then clean the sensors with a dust blower.

Cleaning the Rollers

Find several groups of rollers, and then clean
the rollers with a lint-free cloth or a swab
moistened with alcohol (ethanol) or water.

Cleaning the Recesses

Locate two recesses at the top of the roller
cover, and then clean the recesses with a lint­free cloth or a swab moistened with alcohol
(ethanol) or ECO cleaner.

NOTE:

• The recommended cleaning cycle time would be after approximately 3,000 to 5,000 scans.

• For more details on cleaning, refer to the scanner’s User’s Manual in the Microtek Software CD/DVD
and see the “Care and Cleaning” section on pages 44 to 47.
