5.3 Cleaning Inside of the ScanSnap
Clean inside of the ScanSnap with a cloth moistened with Cleaner F1.
In an alternating succession of scanning documents, the accumulated paper-powder and dust inside the
ScanSnap causes a scanning error.
As a guideline, clean the ADF every 1000 sheets of documents. Note that this guideline varies according
to the type of 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 referring to the illustrations.
1. Open the ADF while pulling the cover open lever.
CAUTION
The glass surface inside the ADF becomes hot during the ScanSnap operation.
Before you start cleaning the inside of the ScanSnap, disconnect the AC adapter from
the outlet, and wait at least 15 minutes to let the ScanSnap cool down.
ATTENTION
Never use water or neutral detergent to clean the inside of the ScanSnap.
