Abrasion counter The abrasion counter counts the accumulated number of scanned sheets.

This counter increments every 10 sheets. It is useful to check the cleaning
cycle or the par ts repla cement cycle. How to reset it is descri bed in Chapter

6.

NOTICE

When the counter value is 0, no number is displayed.

The paper counter counts the number of scanned sheets
from the start of reading until Paper Empty or an error is
detected. The counter is automatically reset at the start
of reading. The counter is used for checking the
number of the sheets scanned in one batch.

This counter increments each time a document is
scanned. It is not initialized until the power is turned off.
The counter can be used, for example, for checking the
number of sheets that have been scanned in one day.

Precautions

This section describes precautions to follow when installing the scanner.
To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your scanner, do not install the scanner in the places

and environments described below.

• Place the scanner away from electrical noise sources, strong magnetic fields, and air flow. If the
scanner is used near an air conditioner, copying machine, or TV set, the scanner may operate
incorrectly.

• Keep the scanner out of the sun and away from heaters. These environments may shorten the scanner
life or cause hardware failures.

• Do not install the scanner in a place where vibrations may occur. This environment may cause
hardware failures or may cause the scanner to operate incorrectly.

• Do not install the scanner in humid, dusty, or damp places. These environments may shorten the
scanner life or cause hardware failures.

• Do not place the scanner where liquid spills may occur.

• Be aware of static electricity, which can damage the scanner’s sensitive electronic parts. Be sure the
flooring and the desk are made of materials that do not generate static electricity.

For information on the minimum required size of the installation space, see Chapter 5, “Specifications”.

Repositioning the Shipping Lock

To keep the scanner from being damaged during shipping, the carrier unit is fixed with a Shipping Lock.
After placing the carrier unit where it will be installed, change the position of this Shipping Lock as
explained below.

Place the image scanner on the edge of the desktop so that the left side of the scanner (where the

1

ADF is attached) extends from the desktop. Do not set the image scanner upside down or on its
side.

CAUTION

Do not let the scanner hang more than 20 cm (8 in.) over the edge of the desk.
