Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner (ADF) with a Cloth
The inside of 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 5,000 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.
The inside of the ADF becomes very hot when the scanner is being used.
Before you start cleaning the inside of the ADF, make sure to turn off the power, unplug the
power cable and wait for at least 15 minutes for the inside of the ADF 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 only a small amount. Wipe off
the cleaner completely to leave no residue on the cleaned parts.
1 Turn off the scanner, unplug the power cable and wait for at least 15 minutes.
For details, refer to How to Turn the Power OFF (page 56).
2 Open the ADF.
For details, refer to How to Open the ADF (page 62).
When the ADF is open, it might close accidentally. Be careful not to get your fingers
caught.
