*1)During scanning, toner, paper dust, oil from carbonless paper, and glue stick to scanner rollers. If the rollers are not cleaned regularly, these will become more difficult to remove. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the rollers be cleaned after daily use.

CARE DAILY

ATTENTION

The scanner must be cleaned more frequently if you scan any of the following types of sheets:

Documents of coated paper

Documents that are almost completely covered with printed text or graphics

Paper whose back side has carbon.

Chemically treated documents such as carbonless paper

Documents containing a large amount of calcium carbonate

Documents filled in with pencil

Do not use aerosol sprays to clean the scanner. The air from the spray may cause dirt and dust to enter the scanner mechanism and resulting scanner failure or malfunction.

You must clean the following area more thoroughly when you use fi- 590PRF or fi-590PRB imprinters. The imprinter ink tends to stick to the document transport path.

Removable sheet guide

Glass sheet guide

Feed rollers

Pinch rollers

You can confirm the number of scanned sheets after the last cleaning by “5.2 How to check and reset the Consumable/Cleaning Counter” on page 121.
