v Place the Scanner securely on an even, flat surface. Tilted or uneven surfaces may cause mechanical

or paper-feeding problems.

v Retain the Scanner box and packing materials for shipping purposes.

2.1 Shipping Bracket

The Scanner has a bracket that locks the carrier mechanism for transportation purposes. This bracket must be
put into the use position before using the Scanner.

Note:

If the power is turned on before the bracket has been removed the PAPER JAM light will
turn on. Before proceeding, turn the power off, disconnect all cables and follow the
instructions below to remove the shipping bracket.

2.1.1 Removing the Shipping Bracket (refer to figures 2-1 and 2-2)

i) Carefully place the Scanner in an upright position on its front.

ii) Using a suitable screwdriver, remove the screw and pull out the shipping bracket.

iii) Put the shipping bracket into the use position with the short side extending into the scanner

base and secure it with the screw.

vi) Carefully place the Scanner back into its normal position.

2.1.2 Refitting the Shipping Bracket

Whenever you need to move the Scanner to a new location it is advisable to refit the shipping bracket
to avoid causing damage to the Scanners’ internal mechanism. Please follow the instructions below
to refit the shipping bracket.

i) Turn off the Scanner power at the power on/off switch.

ii) Disconnect all cables.

Note: For steps (iii) to (vi) please refer to figures 2-1 and 2-2

iii) Carefully place the Scanner in an upright position on its front side.

iv) Using a suitable screwdriver remove the screw holding the shipping bracket in the use

position.

v) Put the shipping bracket into the shipping position, with the long side extending into the

Scanner base. Secure it with the screw.

vi) Carefully place the Scanner back into its normal position.

2.2 SCSI Interface Device ID

When you have several devices on a SCSI chain, you may need to adjust the SCSI ID selector setting located
on the back of the Scanner. This setting assigns a specific “device ID” to the Scanner. If the assignment
conflicts with an existing SCSI device, please select a new ID (see Figure 2.3).

Note: The factory setting for the Scanner is ID 6. Usually, ID 0 is assigned to an internal hard disk drive,

and ID7, to SCSI adapter or host. ID 8 and 9 are not in actual use.

Using a suitable tool, turn the selector switch until the arrow points to the desired ID number.

3. Maintenance

3.1 Cleaning the ADF

Your Scanner is designed to be maintenance free. However, it still needs to be cleaned occasionally to ensure
optimum image quality and performance.

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 several documents may feed at once.
If this occurs please follow the cleaning procedures to return your Scanner to its original state.

The cleaning procedures (Figure 3-1):

i) Moisten a cotton swab with isoprophyl alcohol (95%). (Cleaner kits are available from Fujitsu).

ii) Open the ADF unit by depressing the button • in front of the ADF unit, carefully open the ADF to

the left ‚. Wipe the feeding rollers by moving the swab from side to side. Rotate the rollers forward
with your finger and repeat the above cleaning procedures until the rollers are clean. Be careful not to
snag or damage the pick springs.

iii) Wipe the pad in the direction from top to bottom. Be careful not to hook the pick springs.

iv) Close the ADF unit. Your Scanner is now ready for use.

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 ERROR LED will light on. When the test is completed, the ERROR LED light
will extinguish.

If you have problems with the operation of your Scanner please check the following troubleshooting hints.

4.1 Question and Answer

Question: The LED indicates that the Scanner is ready, but the Scanner does not respond to

the scan command from the host computer.

Answer: a) Please check the signal cable is firmly seated, and invoke the scan command again.

If there is still no response, please reset the Scanner by turning it off and then on
again, and reboot your host computer as well.

b) Check if the driver is correctly installed. You can use the DIAG.EXE file in

“Fujitsu Driver Kit” to check this out.

c) Try to select another port memory.

Question: Paper becomes jammed during scanning.

Answer: a) Open the ADF unit.
b) Pull out the jammed paper carefully
c) Close the ADF unit.

Question: More than one sheet of paper were fed into the Scanner.

Answer: a) Open ADF unit

b) Remove the multi-fed sheets of paper

c) Close the ADF unit

d) Flatten the corners and edges; loosen the paper before reloading it in the paper

guide.

e) Check the feeding roller condition and do the cleaning if necessary (see chapter 6).

Question: Paper becomes skewed in the Scanner.

Answer: a) Check the feeding roller condition; do the cleaning if necessary (See section 6.1).

b) Use the paper guide when feeding the paper.

Question: When I power on the Scanner, it makes noises and will not stand ready.

Answer: There are two possibilities:

a) You forgot to remove the shipping retainer from the Scanner. Please remove the

shipping retainer first.

b) You did not place the Scanner on a flat desktop surface. This may cause the

Scanner to function improperly.

19

Question: When I power on the Scanner, the lamp does not light.

Answer: The possibilities are as follows:

a) The lamp is out of order. In that case, contact your authorised local dealer to change

the lamp. The life time of the lamp is about 15,000 hours.

b) The fuse on main board of the Scanner has blown. Check the main board of the

Scanner. If the fuse has blown, replace fuse with a 250V/2A fuse.

c) If the fuse blows again after changing, it means the invertor of the lamp has failed.

Contact your authorised local dealer to replace the invertor.

Question: Getting image from the Scanner is not a problem, but when scanning, the Scanner or

system will often crash.

Answer: Please check:

a) If the cable is firmly seated.

b) Only two SCSI terminators can be connected to your SCSI daisy chain. One is at

the end of the SCSI device, another is already in your host adapter.

Question: While scanning, the Scanner often makes noises, or it scans back and forth.

Answer: Please choose lower speed from the TWAIN user interface for low speed PC.

Question: The scanned image always comes out to be too dark.

Answer: a) Use your application to modify the Gamma setting to 2.2 and 1.8 for your printer

and monitor respectively.

b) Use Brightness setting from the TWAIN user interface to get a brighter image.

Question: The Scanner works well other wise, but for the line art, the lines of which seem

much thicker than those of the original.

Answer: Use the Brightness or Threshold setting to adjust the line art image.

4.2 Paper Jam in the ADF

In the event of paper jam, please follow the procedures below.

i) Press the button at the front left of the Scanner as shown in Figure 4-1, arrow A. The ADF

cover will be released.
