Cleaning the ADF (with Cleaning Paper)
The ADF can be cleaned with a sheet of Cleaning Paper
moistened with Cleaner F1.
As the scanner continues to feed the documents, paper dust
will accumulate inside the ADF and it may cause scanning
errors.
Cleaning should be performed approximately every 3,000
sheets scanned. Note that the cleaning frequency 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.
