Cleaning The Inside Of The Scansnap - Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100 Basic Operation Manual

Cleaning the Inside of the ScanSnap

Scanning repeatedly may cause dust and paper dust to accumulate inside the ScanSnap resulting in
a 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.
