Cleaning the ADF (with Cloth)
The ADF can be cleaned with a piece of cloth moistened with
Cleaner F1 or a sheet of Cleaning Wipe.
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.
1
Turn off the scanner and wait for at least 15 minutes.
For details, refer to
"1.3 Turning the Power ON/OFF" (page 16)
.
2
Open the ADF.
For details, refer to
"1.4 Opening/Closing the ADF" (page 17)
.
3
Clean the following locations with a cloth moistened with
Cleaner F1 or a sheet of Cleaning Wipe.
The inside of the ADF becomes very hot when the
scanner is being used.
Before you start cleaning the inside, make sure to
turn off the power, unplug the power cable and wait
at least 15 minutes for the ADF glass to cool down.
ATTENTION
Do not use water or mild detergent to clean the ADF.
It may take a long time to dry if an excessive amount of Cleaner F1 is
used. Use it in small quantity. Wipe off the cleaner completely to
leave no residue on the cleaned parts.
Be careful not to have your fingers caught
when the ADF closes.
