Page 13: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions ARNI N G Do not damage the AC cable. A damaged AC cable may cause fire or electric shock. Do not place heavy objects on AC cables, or pull, bend, twist, heat, damage or modify AC cables. Also, do not use damaged AC cables or power plugs, and AC cables or power plugs when the wall socket is loose.
Page 14 Make sure that the smoking has stopped, and then contact the store where you bought the scanner or an authorized FUJITSU scanner service provider. AUTION Do not install the scanner on unstable surfaces.
Page 15 Do not block the ventilation ports. Do not block the ventilation ports. Blocking the ventilation ports generates heat inside of scanner, which may results in fire or scanner failure. Do not place heavy objects or stand on top of the scanner. Do not place heavy objects on the scanner or use the scanner's top surface for performing other work.
Page 16 Do not use aerosol sprays near the scanner. Do not use aerosol sprays to clean the scanner. Aerosol sprays cause dirt and dust to enter the scanner, resulting scanner failure and malfunction. Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet when the scanner is not used for a long period of time.

Filtering A correction method that improves the read quality of handwritten documents.

Dropped pixels may produce outlines, gaps, or thin, barely connected lines due to uneven optical density.
