Cleaning Scanner


Randall

Recommended Posts

I have a Fujitsu ix500 scanner.  It was showing streaks in the scans.  I've cleaned it every way I can using their recommended F1 cleaner.  I have clean scans now on the front side.  But when I use the two sided scanning, I still get a vertical black streak on the back side.  Anyone have any helpful tips on how to get rid of the streak?

Find the other scan window.  Since it will scan 2 sides, there are two glass covers to clean.  It may not be easy to get to, but that will take care of the streaks.

Be diligent about the stick-em_pucky that so many places use.  When you see it, immediately remove it from the papers.

I HATE STICK-EM-PUCKY!

If the streaks go all the way down the page, the contamination is stationary (on the glass), since it does not move.  If it were on the rollers, it would not be straight and would not go all the way down the page.

the contamination can be clear to your eye, but show black to the scan.  Look very closely, and clean very thoroughly & carefully.  It only takes a tiny bit, to cause a streak.
