6. Onderhoud
Goed onderhoud zorgt voor een lange levensduur en optimale prestaties van uw scanner.
- Het scanvenster reinigen: Gebruik lichtjes een zachte, pluisvrije doek dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can scratch the window and impair scanning performance.
