Chapter 3 Daily Care

This chapter describes daily care required for Imprinter.
WARNING
 Glass parts inside the ADF become hot when the
scanner is used. Take care not to get burnt.
 Do not use an aerosol spray, or a spray containing
alcohol, for purposes such as cleaning. The air
from the spray may cause dirt and dust to enter the
scanner mechanism and resulting scanner failure
or malfunction. Also, the scanner may catch on fire
from a spark caused by static electricity.
CAUTION
Before cleaning, make sure that you turn off the
scanner power and unplug the power cable from the
outlet. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock or
malfunction.
For cleaning, use a dry lint-free cloth (DO NOT use
！ ！ ！
tissues) and gently wipe off the dirt or dust.
 For how to operate the scanner, refer to the
"fi-6400/fi-6800 Image Scanner Operator's
Guide".
 For inquiries on or purchase of cleaning items,
contact your FUJITSU scanner dealer or an
authorized FUJITSU scanner service provider.

3.1 Cleaning the Print Cartridge

Poor quality prints can occur due to blocked ink
emission holes in the nozzle. Leaving the Imprinter
unused for long periods can also cause emission holes
to become blocked. When the emission holes are
blocked, clean the nozzle plate of the print cartridge.
Prepare a dry lint-free cloth as a cleaning item.
1
Make sure that the scanner power cable is
unplugged from the outlet.
2
Remove the print cartridge.
(Refer to "2.5 Replacing the Print Cartridge" (page
16).)

Gently wipe dirt and dust off the nozzle plate.

plate carefully so that they do not stick to the
contact section. If they do, gently wipe them off
from the contact section with a clean cloth.
 Be careful not to touch the metal parts (the
nozzle plate or contact section) on the cartridge
directly by hand. Touching them by hand may
cause incorrect printing or contact failure.
4
Make sure that all dirt and stains are removed,
before installing the print cartridge.
(Refer to "2.5 Replacing the Print Cartridge" (page
16).)

3.2 Cleaning the Imprinter

Ink may spatter the vicinity of the print cartridge holder.
We recommend that you clean the scanner after every
5,000 sheets scanned to avoid smudges on the
document or scanned images. Note that the required
cleaning cycle may vary depending upon document type
to be scanned.
When you print documents on which ink does not easily
dry, cleaning more than once per 5,000 sheets may be
required.
Prepare the following cleaning items.
 Cleaner F1 (Part No. PA03950-0352)
 Dry lint-free cloth
