2. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Please unpack the scanner carefully, and check the contents against the c hecklist. If any
items are missing or damaged, please contact your authorized local dealer
immediately.
Precautions
❖ Keep the scanner out of direct sunlight. Direct exposure to the sun or excessive
heat may cause damage to the unit.
❖ Do not install the scanner in a humid or dusty place.
❖ Be sure to use the proper AC power source.
❖ Place the scanner securely on an even, flat surface. Tilted or uneven surfaces may
cause mechanical or paper-feeding problems.
❖ 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.
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 positions with the short side extending
into the scanner base and secure it with the screw.
iv). 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). Open the document cover.
iii). Turn off the scanner.
Note: For steps (iv) to (vi) please refer to figure 2-1 and 2-2
iv). Carefully place the scanner in an upright position on its front side.
v). Use a suitable screwdriver to remove the screw holding the shipping
bracket in the use position.
vi). Put the shipping bracket into the shipping position, with the long side
extending into the scanner base. Secure it with the screw.
vii). 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 scanner is ID 6. Usually, ID 0 is assigned to an internal
hard disk drive, and ID 7, 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 isopropyl alcohol (95%).
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.
