4.3 Cleaning the ADF
As a Guideline, clean the ADF every 5,000 scanned sheets. Note that this guideline varies according to the type of documents
you scan. For example, it may be necessary to clean the ADF more frequently if documents are scanned when the toner is not
sufficiently fixed on the printout.
CAUTION
The glass surface of the ADF becomes hot during the operation of the scanner.
Before you start to clean the inner parts of the scanner, disconnect the AC adapter from the
power outlet, and wait at least 15 minutes to let the glass cool down.
1. Open the ADF by pushing on the ADF open lever and turning the ADF to the front.
