For Your Safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this section
carefully before using the unit to ensure proper and safe
operation of your unit.
≥ This section explains the graphic symbols used in
this manual.

result in serious injury
or death.
Denotes hazards that
could result in minor

∫ For Users
W ARNING
Power and Ground Connection
The power source voltage of this unit is
listed on the nameplate.
Only plug the unit into an AC outlet with the
proper voltage.
If you use a cord with an unspecified
current rating, the unit or plug may emit
smoke or become hot to the touch.
When you operate this product, the power
outlet should be near the product and easily
accessible.
To ensure safe operation, the power cord
supplied must be inserted into a standard
three-prong AC outlet which is effectively
grounded (earthed) through the normal
wiring.
These symbols are used to
alert operators to a specific
operating procedure that must
be emphasized in order to
operate the unit safely.
The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the power
point is grounded (earthed) and that the
installation is completely safe. For your
safety, if in any doubt about the effective
grounding (earthing) of the power point,
consult a qualified electrician.
If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to
replace the AC outlet with a properly
grounded (earthed) one.
Do not defeat the grounding (earthing) plug
(ex. do not use a conversion plug).
Plug the power cord firmly into an AC outlet.
Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric
shock.
Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or chafe
the power cord, and plug.
Damage to the power cord or plug can
cause fire or electric shock.
Do not attempt to repair the power cord, or
plug. If the power cord or plug is damaged
or frayed, contact an authorized service
representative for a replacement.
5
For Your Safety
Ensure that the plug connection is free of
dust. In a damp environment, a
contaminated connector can draw a
significant amount of current that can
generate heat, and eventually cause fire if
left unattended over an extended period of
time.
Never touch the plug with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if the unit emits
smoke, excessive heat, abnormal smell, or
unusual noise. These conditions can cause
fire or electric shock. Immediately turn the
unit off, and unplug the power cord, and
contact your dealer for service.
When disconnecting the unit, grasp the plug
instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord
forcibly can damage it, and cause fire or
electric shock.
Operating Safeguards
Roller Cleaning Paper
Do not drink or inhale the roller cleaning
paper fluid including isopropyl alcohol.
The roller cleaning paper may be harmful to
sensitive skin. Please use protective gloves.
Do not use the roller cleaning paper near a
heater or open flame.
CAUTION
Power
The unit should be used only with the power
cord enclosed with the unit.
If metal fragments or water gets into the
unit, turn the unit off, and unplug the unit
immediately. Contact your dealer for
service. Operating the contaminated unit
can cause fire or electric shock.
Do not open covers, and do not attempt to
repair the unit yourself. Contact your dealer
for service.
Do not alter the unit or modify any parts.
Alteration or modification can cause fire or
electric shock.
During thunderstorms, do not touch the unit
and plug. It may cause an electric shock.
When the unit is not used over an extended
period of time, switch it off, and unplug it. If
an unused unit is left connected to a power
source for a long period, degraded
insulation may cause electric shock, current
leakage, or fire.
6
Installation and Relocation Operating Safeguards
For Your Safety
Do not position the unit in a location where
it is unstable.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose this unit to rain or any type of
moisture.
Do not place the unit in a hot humid or
dusty environment.
Prolonged exposure to these adverse
conditions may cause fire or electric shock.
Do not block the air vents. Doing so can
cause heat to build up, and may result in
fire.
When moving the unit, be sure to unplug
the power cord from the AC outlet. If the
unit is moved with the power cord attached,
it can cause damage to the cord which
could result in fire or electric shock.
Move this unit with two persons, holding the
four hollows on the front and rear sides.
Dropping the unit can cause injury and
damage to the unit.
If the unit falls down or gets damaged, turn
the unit off, and unplug the power cord.
Otherwise, it may cause fire or electric
shock.
Do not place any liquids or heavy items on
the unit.
Accidental spillage of liquid into the unit
may cause severe damage. If this occurs,
turn the unit off, unplug the power cord, and
contact your dealer for service.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers when
closing the exit door. It can cause injury.

≥ OHP sheets, other plastic films, cloths, or metallic sheets
≥ Paper with irregularities such as paper clips, staples, paste, or glue
≥ Document with wet ink or cinnabar seal ink
≥ Thick or irregular documents such as envelopes, documents that are glued together, etc.
∫ Notes about documents for scanning
≥ Depending on the paper type, scanning results may be poor when you scan unacceptable documents, or even
documents that should be acceptable.
If a paper jam or double feeding occurs, try scanning again after doing the following:
– Clean the rollers and sensors.
– Reduce the number of sheets of paper loaded on the hopper.
– Change the orientation of documents placed in portrait orientation to landscape orientation, or vice versa.
– Scan the documents using manual feeding.
– Set the feed speed to “Slow”.
– Scan the documents with the flatbed.
≥ Make sure to remove paper clips and staples from documents before scanning. Failing to do so can damage the
unit, document, or both.
≥ Curled documents may cause a paper jam or damaging the document, therefore, set the document flat before
scanning.
≥ When scanning important documents, confirm that the number of scanned images matches the number of pages
in the document.
≥ Remove documents from the exit tray after they have been scanned.
