Scanner Glass Cleaning Instructions Chassis Type I 9/17/2004
A scanner is a precision optical instrument and
disassembling the scanner upper housing is a delicate
procedure. We do not recommend that you disassemble the
scanner’s upper housing assembly on your own because of
potential problems that may come up while trying to
disassemble & during the reassembly process. Technical
Support personnel are not trained in repair; therefore, if
you get in trouble, assistance for disassembly & during the
reassembly process is not available. Proceed at your own
risk!
Tools Needed:
Phillips Screw Driver
Flat Screw Driver or small pry bar
Needle Nose Pliers
Recommended Materials:
Glass Cleaning Cloth
Canned Air

Selecting A Work Area
It is important that you begin by planning where you will lay your disassembled parts.
Locate an area with a workbench, table or desk with plenty of space.
Make sure that the area is clear of any other parts from other devices, as the many
screws and nuts can be easily confused.
We recommend that you lay a sheet or tablecloth on the surface you will be
working on. This will prevent tools, parts and screws from sliding around and
falling to the floor. This will also prevent any parts from scratching the surface of
the work area.
Before You Start
In order to prevent any short-circuiting of the electronic chips on the scanners
motherboard, it is very important that you ground yourself by simply touching the
metal part or parts of your PC.
Make sure that the area you touch on your PC is bare metal and not coated with
paint or plastic. This will allow for any static electricity to discharge from your
body.
Note: Make sure that the scanner power cable is disconnected from the back of
the scanner at this point.
Cleaning the Scanner’s Glass Bed
The best way to clean the scanner glass bed is with a clear glass cleaner solution. Make
sure you do not use the blue, red, yellow or any other color dye solutions. Using color
dye solutions can form streaks on the scanners glass bed. Use the clear solutions for best
results. You can also use a 50/50 solution mix distilled water and pure alcohol. Also use
a soft cloth and avoid all abrasive material such as sponges and rough paper towels.
Cleaning Under Side of Glass Bed
To clean the underside of your scanners glass bed, please make sure that it is absolutely
necessary to do this. If cleaning the top of the scanner glass bed was not sufficient you
will need to open your scanners upper housing in order to be able to clean the underside
of the scanners glass bed.
