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 200 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.
WARNING
Before you perform cleaning, you must turn off the ScanSnap and unplug the cables to
avoid the risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not place internal parts of the scanner such as the pad assy or the pick roller
anywhere within reach of small children to avoid injuries.
Do not use aerosol spray or spray that contains alcohol to clean the scanner. Paper dust
and other 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.
The glass inside the scanner becomes very hot when the ScanSnap is being used.
Unplug the cables from the ScanSnap and wait for at least 15 minutes before cleaning the
inside.
CAUTION
When you perform cleaning, be careful not to get your hand or the cloth caught on the
pick spring (metal part) as a deformed pick spring may cause injury.
