CAUTION
Do not use a damaged power cable. Also, do
not insert any cables or power plugs into loose
sockets. Doing so may cause a fire or electric
shock.
Be careful of the following when handling the
power cable:
Do not modify the power cable.
Do not place heavy objects on the po
ca
ble.
Do not pull or bend the power cable.
If the power cable is damaged, contact your
FUJITSU scanner dealer or an authorized
FUJITSU scanner service provider.
Do not place heavy objects on the scanner or
perform other work on top of the scanner.
Doing so might cause injuries or an equipment
failure.
Do not use the scanner while covered with a
blanket, etc. Doing so may raise the
temperature inside and cause a fire.
Avoid getting a sleeve, necktie, or hair caught
up in any scanner mechanism during scanning
since this may cause injuries.
Do not touch the heated section such as the
bottom of the scanner for a long time. Doing so
may cause a low-temperature burn on your
skin.
When the scanner is not going to be used for a
long period of time, be sure to disconnect the
power cable from the AC outlet. Not doing so
may cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not use any aerosol sprays or alcohol
based sprays to clean the scanner. Dust blown
up by strong air from the spray may enter the
inside of the scanner. This may cause the
scanner to fail or malfunction. Sparks, caused
by static electricity, generated when blowing off
dust and dirt from the outside of the scanner
may cause a fire.

The following describes important cautions for using this product.
When installing the scanner on a table, make sure that the table is flat and level. Place the scanner so that none of its parts extend beyond the edge of the table, otherwise it may fall or collapse and cause injuries.
Install the scanner away from strong magnetic fields and other sources of electronic noise. Protect the scanner against any static electricity and choose a static-free place to install the scanner. Static electricity can cause the scanner to malfunction.
If there is an electrical storm, disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet. Lightening can travel through wires and water pipes and damage the scanner, which may damage your property.
Do not supply the power from the AC outlet where the devices requiring much power such as copying machines or paper shredders are connected.
Do not block the ventilation ports. Blocking the ventilation ports generates heat inside of the scanner, which may result in a fire or scanner failure.
Do not use the scanner immediately after moving it from a cold place into a warm room. Condensation may occur, which might lead to scanning errors. Let the scanner dry for one or two hours before you use it.
When handling documents, be careful not to cut your fingers with them.
When carrying the scanner outside while it is raining or snowing, pay special attention so the scanner does not get wet. If the scanner gets wet, wipe it or wait until it dries.
When transporting the scanner, never carry it alone. The scanner is heavy.
LED light source of the scanner is not exposed in normal use, and the amount of LED light leakage, if any, does not pose any risk of eye damage. Do not disassemble, repair, or customize the scanner by yourself. Direct exposure to the LED light source could cause problems with visual acuity.
Make sure to ground to avoid electric shock. Be sure to ground before plugging into the AC outlet. Unplug from the outlet before removing the ground connection.

Chapter 3 Daily Care

WARNING
CAUTION
Nozzle Plate

Tab
This chapter describes daily care required for Imprinter.
Glass parts inside the ADF become hot when the
sca
nner 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 th
nner mechanism and resulting scanner failure
sca or malfunction. Also, the scanner may catch on fire fr
om a spark caused by static electricity.
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.
Wipe dirt (particularly ink) and dust off the nozzle
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

If you use a large quantity of Cleaner F1 at once, it will take a long time to dry. Make sure to moisten the cloth with an appropriate quantity of the cleaner. Also, make sure to wipe off the cleaner completely with a soft lint-free cloth and leave no residue on the surface of the cleaned parts.
6 Hold the ADF with both hands and press it down
slowly. Push the ADF until it is securely locked in place.
When closing the ADF, be sure nothing is left
inside. Be careful not to get your fingers caught.
