Scanner Maintenance
Cleaning:
Use the specially designed cleaning card to perform a simple cleaning cycle once a month or
every 5,000 checks, whichever comes first. Follow these steps to clean the scanner:
1. Remove the cleaning card from the sealed pouch and insert
into the entry feeder as shown to the right.
2. Select Scan from the deposit application and create a dummy
deposit while grasping the trailing edge of the cleaning card.
This action will create the desired scrubbing” condition with the
feed rollers. Repeat this action 3-4 times while rotating the
cleaning card each time.
3. Next, perform 3-4 additional scan cycles with the cleaning card, but do not grasp the trailing
edge of the card. Rotate the cleaning card each time to ensure that the cleanest part of the
card is being used.
4. Abort the dummy deposit.
Use Compressed Air:
Use compressed air to clean the scanner frequently. This will eliminate dust, paper fragments,
and other foreign bodies that may damage the scanner.
Remove Ink Smudges:
Check the ink-jet cartridge for leaks. If it has leaked, remove the cartridge and clean it off, then
insert it back in the scanner.
Replace Ink Jet Cartridge:
Periodically check the condition of the ink jet cartridge and replace it when the ink begins to fade
in density on the printed items.
Scanner supplies may be obtained by contacting the Help Desk.
