Scanner Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your check scanner operating at peak performance. Preventative care—like monthly cleaning with the right tools—helps reduce misfeeds, improve image quality and extend the life of your device.

Preventative Maintenance

To keep check scanners in optimal working condition, Deluxe recommends cleaning your scanner at least once a month using a cleaning kit designed for your specific model. Regular cleaning supports consistent check processing and helps prevent image issues, jams, and misfeeds. Cleaning frequency may vary based on usage volume and environmental conditions.

Maintenance Recommendations

For optimal performance of your scanner:

  • Run a cleaning card through your scanner at least once monthly

  • Increase cleaning frequency for high-volume environments

  • Clean immediately if you notice image quality issues or paper jams

  • Follow the enclosed instructions for proper cleaning technique

  • Store cleaning cards in their sealed package until use

Cleaning Kits and Supplies

Most scanner cleaning kits include cleaning cards and device-safe wipes to help remove dust, paper particles and exterior debris—to support smoother operation longer.
