Chapter 6 Daily Care

6.2 Cleaning the ADF

As a Guideline, clean the ADF every 10,000 scanned sheets. Note that this guideline varies according to the type of documents you scan. For example, it may be necessary to clean the ADF more frequently if documents are scanned when the toner is not sufficiently fixed on the printout.

When operating the scanner, the glasses inside the ￿￿￿￿￿￿￿ ADF become very hot.

Before you clean the inside of the scanner, turn off its power and unplug the power cable from the power outlet. Wait for at least 15 minutes for the ADF glasses to cool down.
