Cleaning the Inside of the ScanSnap
Scanning continuously may cause dust and paper dust to accumulate inside the ScanSnap
and result in scanning error.
As a guideline, the inside of the ScanSnap should be cleaned every 100 sheets scanned.
Note that this guideline varies depending on the types of documents you scan. For instance, it
may be necessary to clean the scanner more frequently when you scan documents on which
the toner is not sufficiently fused.
Clean the inside of the ScanSnap in the following procedure.
WARNING
z
Before you perform cleaning, you must turn off the ScanSnap and unplug the USB cable to
avoid the risk of fire or electric shock.
z
Do not use aerosol spray or spray that contains alcohol to clean the scanner. Dust blown
up by strong air from the spray may enter inside of the scanner which may cause scanner
failure or malfunction. Also note that sparks generated by static electricity may cause a fire.
Check the number of sheets scanned in the following procedure.
