Consumables and Replacement Cycles
To maintain high-quality scanned images, it’s important to clean your scanner regularly and replace the
consumables according to their recommended life cycle.
To receive a consumable and/or cleaning kit, please contact Team Joi at:
Ph: 844-686-8448 M-F, 5am-5pm CT

Your scanner records the number of
sheets you scan. This helps you to
know when you should clean and
replace the consumables.
These suggested replacement cycles
apply to standard copy paper (A4 (80
g/m2(20 lb.) wood-free or wood-
containing paper). If you scan heavier
paper, ink heavy documents, coated
paper, etc. you may need to replace
the consumables and clean more
frequently.
For best scanning performance, please
use only the specified consumables

Cleaning the Inside
Cleaning the ADF (with Cleaning Paper)
Cleaning should be performed approximately every 3,000 sheets scanned. As the scanner continues to
feed the documents, paper dust will accumulate inside the ADF and it may cause scanning errors.
Cleaning frequency varies depending on the types of documents you scan. For instance, it may be
necessary to clean the scanner more frequently when you scan documents on which the toner is not
sufficiently fused.
The ADF can be cleaned with a sheet of cleaning paper moistened with F1 Cleaner.
1. Turn on the scanner.
2. Spray the cleaning paper with F1 Cleaner.
3. Pull out the chute extensions according to the length of the Cleaning Paper.
4. Lift the stacker and stacker extension according to the length of the Cleaning Paper.
5. Load the Cleaning Paper in the ADF paper chute (feeder). Adjust the side guides to the width of
the Cleaning Paper. Do not leave space between the side guides and the Cleaning Paper.
Otherwise, the Cleaning Paper may be fed skewed.
6. Start an application for scanning and perform a scan.
ATTENTION
Do not use water or mild detergent to clean the ADF.
It may take a long time to dry if an excessive amount of F1
Cleaner is used. Use it in small quantity.
