Cleaning the Inside of the ScanSnap
Scanning continuously may cause dust and paper dust to accumulate inside the ScanSnap
and result in scanning error.
As a guideline, the inside of the ScanSnap should be cleaned every 1,000 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.
WARNING
z
Before you perform cleaning, you must turn off the ScanSnap and unplug the cables to
avoid the risk of fire or electric shock.
z
To avoid injuries, do not place internal parts of the scanner (e.g. break roller, pick roller)
anywhere within reach of small children.
z
Do not use aerosol spray or spray that contains alcohol to clean the scanner. Paper dust
and other dust blown up by strong air from the spray may enter inside of the scanner
which may cause scanner failure or malfunction.
Also note that sparks generated by static electricity may cause a fire.

The glass inside the scanner becomes very hot when the ScanSnap is being used.
Unplug the cables from the ScanSnap and wait for at least 15 minutes before cleaning.
