8.2 Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner
Clean inside of the scanner with a cloth moistened with Cleaner F1.
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 200 sheets of paper. Note that this guideline varies according
to the type of the 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 and refer to the illustrations on the following
page.
Operation
1. Open the ADF while pulling the cover open lever.
ATTENTION
• Do not use water or neutral detergent to clean the inside of the scanner.
• Do not use aerosol sprays to clean the scanner. Aerosol sprays cause dirt and
dust to enter the scanner, resulting scanner failure and malfunction.
• 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.
