Cleaning The Inside Of The Scanner (Adf) With A Cloth - Ricoh fi-8040 Operator's Manual

Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner (ADF) with a Cloth

The inside of the ADF can be cleaned with a piece of cloth moistened with Cleaner F1, or a sheet of
Cleaning Wipe.
As the scanner continues to feed the documents, paper dust will accumulate inside the ADF and it may
cause problems related to scanning or affect the scanned results. Cleaning should be performed
approximately every 3,000 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.
The inside of the ADF becomes very hot when the scanner is being used.
CAUTION
Before you start cleaning the inside of the ADF, make sure to turn off the power,
unplug the power cable and wait for at least 15 minutes for the inside of the
ADF to cool down.
ATTENTION
● Do not use water or mild detergent to clean the ADF.
● It may take a long time to dry if an excessive amount of Cleaner F1 is used. Use only a small
amount. Wipe off the cleaner completely to leave no residue on the cleaned parts.
