ScanSnap S300M Getting Started 10
The following describes important cautions.
Do not leave the scanner in the direct sunlight, at high temperature such as in
a car in the scorching sun, or near heating apparatus. Doing so might cause
excessive heat to build up inside the scanner, causing heating, deforming, or
melting of the scanner parts (e.g., cover), and raising the temperature inside
the scanner, which could result in fire or scanner trouble. Install the scanner in
a well-ventilated location.
Do not move the scanner with the power and interface cables connected as
this might damage the cables, causing fire, electric shock or injuries.
Before moving the scanner, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet, and disconnect interface cables as well. Also, make sure that
the floor is free of obstructions.
Avoid getting a sleeve, necktie, or hair caught up in any scanner mechanism
when scanning as this may cause injuries.
Do not use any aerosol sprays or alcohol based sprays to clean the scanner.
Dust blown up by strong air from the spray may enter the inside of the
scanner. This may cause the scanner to fail or malfunction.
Sparks, caused by static electricity, generated when blowing off dust and dirt
from the outside of the scanner may cause a fire.
CAUTION
Install the scanner on a desk so that none of its parts protrude outside of the
desktop. Also, make sure that the scanner is installed on a flat, level surface.
Install the scanner away from strong magnetic fields and other sources of
electronic noise. Also, protect the scanner from static electricity as this might
cause the scanner to malfunction.
Do not use aerosol sprays to clean the scanner. Aerosol sprays cause dirt and
dust to enter the scanner, resulting in scanner failure and malfunction.
Do not use the scanner immediately after moving it from a cold place to a
warm room. This may cause condensation, which might lead to scanning
errors. Let the device dry about one or two hours before you use it.
When carrying the scanner outside while it is raining or snowing, pay close
attention so the scanner does not get wet or moistured.
