Cleaning The Inside Of The Scansnap - Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M Operator's Manual

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 1000 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.
Check the number of sheets scanned in the following procedure.
Select [Help] → [About ScanSnap Manager] → [Detail] button in the Right-Click Menu to
display the [ScanSnap Manager - Scanner and driver information] dialog box, and then see
[Total page count].
Select [Help] → [About ScanSnap Manager] → [Detail] button in the ScanSnap Manager menu
to display the [ScanSnap Manager - Scanner and driver information] window, and then see
[Total page count].
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 (e.g. pad assy, pick roller) anywhere within reach
of small children.
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.
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.
CAUTION
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.
