7.3 Cleaning Inside the Scanner
Clean the interior of the scanner with a cloth slightly moistened with Cleaner F1 or the
Cleaning Wipe.
As scanning is repeated, paper powder and dust may accumulate inside the scanner,
possibly causing scanning to malfunction.
The interior of the scanner should be cleaned after approximately every 1,000 scanned
sheets. However, this criteria varies according to the type of documents scanned. For
example, it may be necessary to clean the scanner more frequently when documents with
insufficiently fused toner are scanned.
1. Turn off the scanner power and wait for at least 15 minutes.
For details about turning off the power, refer to "2.1 Turning the Power On/Off"
(page 57)
.
2. Pull the top cover release catch toward you and open the top cover.
z The glass scanner windows inside the ADF can become hot when the
scanner is used.
Before cleaning inside the scanner or replacing any parts, turn off the
power, unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet, and wait for at least
15 minutes.
z When you perform cleaning, make sure that the inside of the scanner
is free of any foreign object, and be careful not to get your hand or the
cloth caught on the pick spring (metal part) as a deformed pick spring
(metal part) may cause injury.
z Do not use water or a mild detergent when cleaning the interior of the scanner.
z When a large amount of Cleaner F1 is used, it may take some time until it is dry.
Use an appropriate amount to moisten the cloths. Also, wipe off any extra cleaner
from the part by using a dry cloth.
