Scanner Glass

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.scanner (More info?)

Does anyone have any advice for the best way to clean my scanner glass (
flatbed ) to clear it of smudge marks etc.

Have heard that if you don't do it the right way it can ruin the scanner

thanks

Here's an example of how HP recommend it should be done with one of their
models. The main thing is to use a soft cloth (rather than paper towels) and
appropriate glass cleaner. Note the links on the page which refer to
cleaning the underside as well (if this is needed). Note that you may need
to copy and paste the full URL due to word wrapping in OE - I don't know how
it will come out.

a soft cloth avoids scratching the glass. The best cleanser is
actually is a solution of vinegar and water. The vinegar/water
evaporates rapidly and, since there is no detergent there is no
streaking.
