Maintenance
The scan window will require occasional cleaning to remove smudges,
dust and other debris. To ensure optimal performance, clean the Scan
Window using a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with isopropyl
alcohol (or equivalent). See Figure 17. The scanner body can also be
cleaned using this method.

affect performance. Repair or replacement of other items such as charg-
ing contact pins, internal components, etc. must be performed by an
authorized repair center.
