Regular maintenance for the Canon RP10 includes cleaning the scanner glass with a soft, lint-free cloth and ensuring the rollers are free of dust and debris. Periodically check for firmware updates from Canon's website to ensure the scanner software is up to date. It is also advised to perform regular calibration using the calibration sheet provided.
To clean the scanner glass, turn off and unplug the scanner. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with a mild glass cleaner. Wipe the glass gently to remove any dust or smudges, taking care not to scratch the surface. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the glass.

Verify that the scan settings are configured correctly in the scanning software. Ensure that the scanner is not in a low-resolution mode that might be misinterpreting the content.
