Do not place or use the scanner in locations
which are subject to high temperature, humidity,
poor ventilation, or dust. If placed in an area
subject to high temperature, the cover may
become overheated and deformed, resulting in
an electric leakage or fire.
Use the scanner in a well-ventilated environment.
A place near heat-radiating devices such as
stoves or electric heaters, or flammable items
such as volatile inflammable materials or
curtain.
A place such as kitchen where oil smoke may
be formed.
A place such as a bathroom, shower room, or
swimming pool where it may easily get wet.
A place under direct sunlight, in a car under
the scorching sun, or near heating apparatus
where it may get hot.
A place where heat can not get out, such as
when you cover the scanner with clothes or a
blanket.
Before moving the scanner, be sure to
disconnect all the interface cables. Make sure
that the floor is free of any obstructions.
Do not move the scanner with the power and
interface cables connected as this can damage
the cables, which can later cause a fire or electric
shock. The cables can also hinder work, causing
injuries.
Do not touch the power cable with wet hands.
Doing so may cause an electric shock.
When disconnecting the power cable from the
AC outlet, make sure that you hold the power
plug and not the cable. Pulling the cable may
damage it, which may cause a fire or electric
shock.
Do not use the power cable if it is damaged. 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 moisten, modify, tie, bundle, or wind
the cable.
Do not place heavy objects on the cable, trap
the cable in a doorway, drop or damage the
cable in any other way.
Do not pull or forcibly bend or twist the cable.
Do not place any metal near to the plug of the
power cable.
To avoid injuries, be careful not to get your
accessories (such as ties, necklaces) or hair
caught inside the scanner.
Do not touch the heated section such as the
bottom of the scanner or AC adapter 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.
CAUTION
When installing the scanner on a table, make
sure that none of the scanner's parts extend over
the table edge.
Also make sure that the work surface is flat and
stable. Otherwise the scanner may fall over or be
pulled off the table and cause injuries.
To avoid injuries, do not place the scanner in an
area where small children may be able to reach.
If there is an electrical storm, turn off the scanner,
and disconnect the power cable from the AC
outlet. Then, disconnect any interface cables
from the scanner. Not doing so may destroy the
scanner, which may damage your property.
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 place heavy objects on the scanner or
perform other work on top of the scanner. Doing
so might cause injuries or an equipment failure.
When handling documents or the Carrier Sheet,
be careful not to cut your fingers with them.
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.
Check the following items once a month:
The power cable is firmly inserted into the AC
outlet.
The power cable is not emitting abnormal
heat, or the cable is not rusty or bent.
Dust is not accumulated on the power cable
(especially the plug). If so, wipe off any dust
with a soft, dry cloth.
The power cable does not have any cracks or
scratches.
