Clean the rollers
Using a dry cotton swab or a swab that 
has been lightly dampened with water 
and wrung out, clean the rollers while 
turning the toothed wheel slowly in 
either direction with the ball of your 
thumb. Excessive force or the use of a 
screwdriver or other rigid object could 
damage the wheel. Dry the rollers with 
a dry cotton swab or leave the roller 
frame open until the rollers dry.

Storage
When the adapter is removed from the scanner, store it in a well-ventilated area where the 
temperature is between –10 °C (14 °F) and +50 °C (+122 °F) and the humidity less than 60%.  
Do not store the adapter where it would be subject to sudden temperature changes or con-
densation.
Cleaning
Use a blower or a soft dry cloth to remove dust, a soft cloth lightly dampened with neutral 
detergent or liquid soap to remove tougher stains. Do not use alcohol or other volatile chemi-
cals.
