❖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)

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

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 isoprophyl alcohol (95%). (Cleaner kits
are available from Fujitsu.)
ii). Open the ADF unit by depressing the button c in front of the ADF
unit, carefully open the ADF to the left d . 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.
1)Documents do not feed smoothly or easily;

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 READY LED is flashing. When the test is
completed, if no error occur, the READY LED is steadily on.
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 form 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 3)

4-2
Question: Paper becomes skewed in the Scanner.
Answer: a) Check the feeding roller condition; do the cleaning if
necessary. (See Section 3.1)
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.
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
authorized local dealer to change the lamp. The life time of the
lamp is about 5000 hours.
b) The fuse on main board of the Scanner is burned. Check the
main board of the Scanner. If the fuse is burned, put in a new
fuse that is 250V/2A.
c) If the fuse burns again after the changing, it means the
invertor of the lamp is burned. Contact your authorized 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.

4-3
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.
