How to Clean a Printer Scanner
Because a printer scanner is a two-in-one device, it is used more often than if you had two separate devices. Cleaning a printer scanner can be done in a few easy steps, and if you keep it up, it should stay clean for as long as you're using it.

Tips & Warnings
Instead of eye-glass cleaner, you may use mild detergent and water. After cleaning, plug your printer scanner back into the wall, and test it out to see if it produces better results.
