■ To avoid damage to the scanner, never place the scanner on an unstable or vibrating
surface. The scanner may tip or fall over, and cause an injury.
■ To avoid overheating and causing a fire, never block the air vents on the rear and
side of the scanner.
■ Keep all liquids, beverages, or any type of liquid, and clips, staples, necklaces, or
other metal objects away from the scanner. If you accidentally spill liquid or drop a
metal object into the scanner, turn OFF the power immediately and disconnect the
power cord from the power outlet. Call for service immediately.
■ Never install the scanner in humid or dusty locations. Doing so might cause a fire or
electrical shock.
■ Never place heavy objects on top of the scanner. Such objects may tip or fall over,
and cause an injury.
■ When you remove the power cord, grip it by the plug head. Never attempt to
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet by pulling on the power cord. Doing
so might expose or break the core leads, damage the power cord, and cause a fire or
electrical shock.
■ Keep the area around the power outlet clear of all obstacles so you can disconnect
the power cord easily at all times.
■ Never spill water or any type of volatile solution (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner) into
the scanner. Doing so might cause a fire or electrical shock.
■ When the scanner is not being used for a long time, disconnect the power cord from
the power outlet.
■ Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing, dangling jewelry, long ties, or even long hair that
could become entangled with moving parts, especially the rollers that feed the
scanner. If such objects become entangled, immediately disconnect the power plug
from the power outlet to stop the scanner.
■ Be very careful when you are loading a document or removing a paper jam. You may
be injured unexpectedly. For example, the paper edges may cut your fingers.
■ Do not open the feeder cover while the scanner is operating. Doing so might result in
a malfunction or injury.
■ Do not directly touch the pins and contacts on the scanner connector with your
hands. Doing so might result in a malfunction.
■ Open the feeder carefully and slowly, taking care to avoid letting it fall over
backwards. Failure to do so might result in a malfunction or personal injury.
■ Close the feeder carefully and slowly, taking care to avoid pinching your hands.
Failure to do so might result in a malfunction or personal injury.
■ When scanning a thick book or similar item from the flatbed (platen glass), avoid
pressing down hard on the feeder. Doing so might damage the glass and create the
risk of a malfunction or personal injury.
■ Never place any object other than documents to be scanned onto the scanner’s
flatbed (platen glass). Doing so might result in a malfunction or personal injury.
