Chapter 7 Cleaning the Scanner Glass To ensure that your copies and scans remain clear, keep the Kodak printer's scanner glass and lid backing clean and dust the exterior. Warning Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride on the glass, since they can damage it. Do not place or spray liquid directly on the glass. The liquid might seep under the glass and damage the device. 1 Unplug the printer and raise the lid.
Maintenance Ink Cartridges Your Kodak printer uses separate black and color ink cartridges. The ink levels show on the control panel and in the printer software.
