8.2 Cleaning the Inside of the ScanSnap
Clean the inside of the ScanSnap with a cloth moistened with Cleaner F1.
After the ScanSnap has been in use for a period of time, its inside will be contaminated with paper
debris and dust. The accumulation of debris and dust may cause scanning problems.
As a guideline, clean the ADF at least every 200 scans. Note that this depends on the type of the
documents scanned. For example, the ADF must be cleaned more frequently if documents are
scanned when the ink has not been sufficiently fixed on the paper.
Clean the ADF according to the following procedure. (Refer to the illustrations on the following
page.)
1. Pull the cover open lever to open the ADF.
ATTENTION
• Do not use water or neutral detergent to clean the inside of the ScanSnap.
• Do not use compressed air to clean the ScanSnap. Compressed air cause dirt
and dust to enter the ScanSnap, which may result in ScanSnap failure and
malfunction, or errors in scanned images.
• It may take long before the cleaner vaporizes if a large quantity is used. When
cleaning the ScanSnap 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.
