cause abnormalities or lines in your scanned images.

Cleaning the Paper Path Rollers
Open the scanner cover. See Opening the Scanner Cover for instructions.
If the glass surface inside the scanner gets dirty, clean it with a soft, dry, lint-free
cloth. If the glass surface is stained with grease or some other hard-to-remove
material, use a small amount of glass cleaner with a soft cloth to remove it. Wipe off
all remaining liquid.
Caution:
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the scanner glass.
Open the scanner cover. See Opening the Scanner Cover for instructions.
Wipe the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with water and thoroughly wrung out.
