Chapter 6 Daily Care

Cleaning the ADF (with cloth)

3 Clean the following locations with a cloth moistened with

 

Cleaner F1 or a sheet of Cleaning Wipe.

 

The ADF can be cleaned with a piece of cloth moistened with Cleaner F1, or a sheet of Cleaning Wipe.

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

Cleaning should be performed approximately every 5,000 sheets scanned. Note that this guideline varies depending on the types of documents you scan. For instance, it may be necessary to clean the scanner more frequently when you scan documents on which the toner is not sufficiently fused.

The glasses inside the ADF become very hot when the scanner is being used.

Before you start cleaning the inside, make sure to turn off the power, unplug the power cable and wait at least 15 minutes for the ADF glass to cool down.

z Do not use water or mild detergent to clean the ADF. z It may take a long time to dry if an excessive amount of

Cleaner F1 is used. Use it in small 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 23).

2 Open the ADF.

For details, refer to "1.4 Opening/Closing the ADF" (page 24).

Be careful not to have your fingers caught when the ADF closes.
