8.2Cleaning the Inside of the ScanSnap

Clean the inside of the ScanSnap with a cloth moistened with Cleaner F1.

After the ScanSnap has been in use for a period of time, its inside will be contaminated with paper debris and dust. The accumulation of debris and dust may cause scanning problems.

As a guideline, clean the ADF at least every 200 scans. Note that this depends on the type of the documents scanned. For example, the ADF must be cleaned more frequently if documents are scanned when the ink has not been sufficiently fixed on the paper.

Clean the ADF according to the following procedure. (Refer to the illustrations on the following page.)

ATTENTION

•Do not use water or neutral detergent to clean the inside of the ScanSnap.

• Do not use compressed air to clean the ScanSnap. Compressed air cause dirt and dust to enter the ScanSnap, which may result in ScanSnap failure and malfunction, or errors in scanned images.

• It may take long before the cleaner vaporizes if a large quantity is used. When cleaning 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.
