7.2Cleaning the ADF

The ADF should be cleaned after approximately every 1,000 scanned sheets. However, this criteria varies according to the type of documents scanned. For example, it may be necessary to clean the ADF more frequently when documents with insufficiently fused toner are scanned.

The glass scanner windows inside the ADF can become hot when the ￿￿￿￿￿￿￿ scanner is used.

Before cleaning inside the scanner or replacing any parts, turn off the power, unplug the AC adapter from the outlet, and wait for at least 15 minutes.

The power does not need to be turned off when cleaning the feed rollers.

When you perform cleaning, make sure that the inside of the scanner is ￿￿￿￿￿￿￿ free of any foreign object, and be careful not to get your hand or the cloth

caught on the pick spring (metal part) as a deformed pick spring (metal part) may cause injury.
