specific "device ID" to the Scanner. If the assignment conflicts with an existing SCSI
device, please select a new I D. ( See Fi g ure 2- 3)

Note: The f actor y se tti ng f or Sca nner is ID 6. U sually, ID 0 is assig ne d to an i nte r na l

hard disk drive, and ID 7, to SCSI adapter or host. ID 8 and 9 are not in actual
use.

Using a suita b l e tool , turn the sele ctor sw i tch unti l the arrow poi n ts to the desired I D
number.

3. MAINTENANCE

3.1 Cleaning the ADF

Your Scanner is designed to be maintenance free. However, it still needs to
be cleaned occasional l y to ensur e opti mum i mag e qual i ty and per f or mance.

From time to time the pad assembly and feeding rollers may become
contaminated with ink, toner particles or paper dust. In this case the
scanner may not feed documents smoothly or sever a l d ocuments ma y f ee d
at once. If this occur s pl e ase f ol l ow the cl ea ni ng pr ocedures to return y our
Scanner to its original state.

The cleaning procedures (Figure 3-1)

i). Moisten a cotton swab with isoprophy l al cohol (95%). (Cl eaner k i ts

4. TROUBLESHOOTING

The Scanner will automatically perform a simple self-test each time it is
turned on. This will help spot major system errors in the Scanner itself.

When the test is initiated, the READY LED is flashing. When the test is
completed, if no error occur, the READY LED is steadily on.

If you have probl ems w i th the oper ati on of your Scanne r, please check the
followi ng tr oub leshooting hints.

4.1 Question and Answer

Question: The LED indicates that the Scanner is ready, but the Scanner

and invoke the scan command again. If there is still no
response, please reset the Scanne r b y tur ni ng i t of f a nd the n on ag a i n,
and reboot your host computer a s w ell.

b) Check if the driver is correctly installed. You can use the

DIAG.E XE f ile in “F uj itsu Driver Ki t” to check this out.

c) Try to select another por t memory .

Question: Paper becomes jammed during scanni ng .
Answer: a) Open the ADF unit.
