8.3 Cleaning the 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 1,000 scans. Note that this guideline varies according to the
type of the 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 and refer to the illustrations on the following
page.
The glass surface inside the ADF becomes hot during the ScanSnap operation.
Before you start to clean the inside of the ScanSnap, disconnect the AC adapter from the
outlet and wait at least 15 minutes to let the ScanSnap cool down.
When you perform cleaning, make sure that the inside of the ScanSnap 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.
Operation
1. Open the ADF while pulling the cover open lever.
• Do not use water or neutral detergent to clean the inside of the ScanSnap.
• 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.
