In an alternating succession of scanning documents, the accumulated paper-powder and dust inside the scanner causes a scanning error.

As a guideline, clean the ADF every 1,000 scans. Note that this guideline varies according to the type of documents you are scanning. For example, the ADF must be cleaned more frequently when scanning documents on that the toner has not been sufficiently fixed on.

Clean the ADF according to the following procedure referring to the illustrations.

WARNING

The glass surface inside the ADF becomes hot during the scanner operation.

Before you start cleaning the inside of the scanner, disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet, and wait at least 15 minutes to let the scanner cool down.

CAUTION

When you perform cleaning, make sure that the inside of the scanner is free of any foreign object, 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.

● Never use water or neutral detergent to clean the inside of the scanner.

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