Cleaning with the Cleaning Cards (U.S.A. Only) If a black stripe appears on the back-side of scanned images or if dirt appears on the paper documents upon scanning or for preventative measures, we recommend that you clean your Canon CR-Series scanner as needed with a cleaning card. Using a cleaning card will minimize the frequent cleaning as instructed in this manual. It is best to perform a cleaning at beginning or end of the day. A cleaning card does not clean the ink jet nozzles, so please remove the ink cartridge and perform a nozzle cleaning (See "Cleaning the Ink Jet Nozzles" on p. 20.) IMPORTANT • This operation is for U.S.A. Cleaning cards are available only in U.S.A. • Contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative for the available cleaning card. 1 Turn OFF the scanner. 2 Disconnect the scanner and the computer. 3 Turn ON the scanner with pressing the START Button and the STOP Button. 4 Pull the Eject Stopper. 5 Place the cleaning card in the document tray. 6 Press the START Button to start cleaning. 7 Please repeat steps 5 and 6. A typical cleaning is feeding the cleaning card 3 to 7 times. If the scanner is extremely dirty, you may need to use another cleaning card. 8 Turn OFF the scanner. 9 Connect the scanner and the computer. NOTE • You cannot scan the document without the computer. • Allow 1 to 2 minutes for the moisture on the Canon CR-Series scanner from the cleaning card to thoroughly dry before scanning documents. NOTE If the scanner turned ON properly, the power LED continues to flash. 21
