RTE8000 HS scanner should be cleaned regularly, depending on use, for best performance and
correct operation. Cleaning will remove dirt and grime that may have been deposited from scanned documents
as well as general dust.

RTE8000 HS Semi-Enclosed (Enhanced) Hood
If paper or sticky residue is caught at the back of the document slot then refer the cleaning to a maintenance
engineer and follow the procedure outlined in the Maintenance Manual.
Required items:
• Alcohol soaked cleaning card (RT Part Number 80-0062-99)
• Lint free cleaning cloth.
1. Use the lint free cleaning cloth to wipe away dust from the scanner exterior.
2. Use the alcohol soaked cleaning card to clean the glass surface. To do this:
• Take the cleaning card out of its packaging.
Note that if you have sensitive skin you should use a disposable plastic glove
that you are not allergic to.
• Insert the card as shown into the scanner’s
document slot (between the hood and glass
surface) until it is stopped by the back edge.
• Move the card sideways back and forth
(arrows) whilst gently keeping the card
pushed towards the back edge of the
document slot as this is where dust and dirt
may have accumulated the most.
3. Take the card out and turn around (180 degrees) and repeat so that the other (clean) end of
the cleaning card is used to clean any remaining dirt.
4. Take the card out and examine the dirt on the cleaning card. If the card is very dirty then
repeat using a fresh cleaning card.
