Chapter 6 Daily Care

6.3 Cleaning the Inside

The inside of the scanner should be cleaned with a piece of cloth/Cleaning Paper moistened with Cleaner F1, or a sheet of Cleaning Wipe.

As the scanner continues to feed the documents, paper dust will accumulate inside the scanner and it may cause scanning errors.

As a guideline, clean the inside of the scanner every 1,000 sheets scanned. Note that this guideline varies depending on the type of documents you scan. For instance, it may be necessary to clean more frequently when you scan documents on which the toner is not sufficiently fused.

zThe glasses inside the ADF become very hot

when the scanner is being used.

When cleaning the inside of the scanner, make sure to unplug the power cable and wait for at least 15 minutes before you start cleaning.

zWhen you perform cleaning, make sure that the inside is free of foreign matter, 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.

zDo not use water or mild detergent to clean the inside of the

scanner.

zIt may take a long time to dry if an excessive amount of Cleaner F1 is used. Moisten the cloth with moderate quantity. Wipe off the cleaner completely to leave no residue on the cleaned parts.

1 Turn off the scanner and wait for at least 15 minutes.

For details, refer to "1.3 Turning the Power ON/OFF" (page 18).

2 Open the ADF.

For details, refer to "1.4 Opening/Closing the ADF" (page 19).
