How to Clean a Microtek Scanner
A Microtek scanner scans documents and images and transfers those files to a computer. Once the document or picture is transferred to the computer, it can be photoshopped, altered, printed, or saved to CDs, DVDs or flash drives. Microtek scanners can accumulate dust, fingerprints and smudges all from routine use. All of these things can impact the quality of the scan, so the scanner, especially the scanning glass, should be cleaned as needed.
