Absolutely, you can clean the platen glass (the scanner glass). You just need to be gentle.
Here's how:
- Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged.
- Lift the document cover.
- Use a soft, dry cloth—like the kind for cleaning eyeglasses. Smooth out any wrinkles in the cloth first.
- Wipe the glass surface gently to remove dust and fingerprints. Don't press hard.
- Do not use any liquids, window cleaners, or abrasive cloths. You could damage the surface or leave streaks.
