Cleaning the Inside of the ScanSnap
Clean inside of the ScanSnap with a cloth moistened with Cleaner F1.
In an alternating succession of scanning documents, the accumulated paper-powder and dust
inside the ScanSnap causes a scanner error.
As a guideline, clean the inside of the ScanSnap every 1,000 scans. Note that this guideline
varies according to the type of the documents you are scanning. For example, the inside of
the ScanSnap must be cleaned more frequently when scanning documents with loose toner.
Clean the inside of the ScanSnap according to the following procedure.

WARNING

The scan glass surface inside the ADF becomes hot during ScanSnap operation.
Before you start to clean the inside of the ScanSnap, disconnect the AC adapter and power
cable from the AC outlet and wait at least 15 minutes to let the ScanSnap cool down.
1. Pull the ADF release catch to open the ADF top section.
•Do not use water or neutral detergent to clean the inside of the ScanSnap.
•It may take a long time before the cleaner vaporizes if a large quantity is used. When clean-
ing the ScanSnap parts, dampen a cloth with modest quantities of the cleaner. In addition,
wipe off the cleaner completely with a soft lint-free cloth to leave no residue on the surface of
the cleaned parts.
