IMPORTANT
• To open the imprinter cover, adjust the Document Feed
Guides outward and press the tab (indicated by the arrow in
the illustration) to unlock the cover. When closing the cover,
press the same tab with your finger to lock it.
• When closing the imprinter cover, make sure that it is locked
so that will not open unexpectedly. An error message appears
on the display panel if the imprinter cover is open.
■ Cleaning the Scanner Exterior
To clean the outside of the scanner, use a cloth dampened
with water or mild detergent solution. Wring out the cloth
thoroughly, and use a clean dry cloth to wipe the scanner
dry.
■ Cleaning the Document Feed Inlet and
Transport Path
Dust or paper particles in the document feed inlet or inside
the scanner can cause spots to appear in scanned images.
Use compressed air to periodically clean dust and paper
particles from the inlet and the inside of the scanner. After
completing large scanning jobs, turn OFF the scanner and
clean out any paper particles.
