CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
This chapter explains how to install and connect the image scanner.
3.1 Precautions
Do not install the image scanner in the following places and environ-
ments. See the appendix A.1 “Installation Specifications” for the
information such as size of installation space.
Place the scanner away from electrical noise
sources and strong magnetic fields. If the
image scanner is used near an air conditioner,
copying machine, or TV set, the scanner may
operate incorrectly.
Do not install the scanner in a humid, dusty,
or damp places. These enviroments may
shorten scaner life or cause hardware fail-
ures. Do not place the image scanner where
liquid spills may occur. Place it on a flat and
even surface.
Keep the scanner out of the sun and away
from heaters. These environments may
shorten scanner life or cause hardware
failures.
Do not install the scanner in a place where
vibrations may occur. This environment may
cause hardware failures or may cause the
scanner to operate incorrectly.
Be aware of static electricity. If static
electricity is generated, the scanner may
operate incorrectly. Be sure that the flooring
and the desk are made of materials that do
not generate static electricity.
CAUTION
Place the image scanner on a level surface.
Place the image scanner so that the rubber
pads are secured on a flat and solid desktop.

① Place the image scanner on the edge of the desk top so that the left side (where ADF
is placed) of the scanner extends from the desk top. Do not set the image scanner
upside down or on its side.

(c) Paper size
• Letter, Double Letter, Legal, A3, A4, A5, B4, B5
(d) Items to avoid
• The following documents may be hard to read by ADF. Before
you start the large quantity reading, check that the document is
read appropriately. If the reading is not appropriate, read them
by flatbet.
– Paper with a clip or staple.
– Paper that has ink which is not dry.
– Paper thickness is not constant, such as an envelope.
– Paper that has large rumples or curl. (See NOTICE)
– Paper that has folds or tears.
– Tracing paper.

– Paper that has perforations on its side.
– Paper that has a shape other than square.
– Paper that is very thin.
NOTICE : The important document which shall not be torn must be
read by flatbet.
NOTICE : Carbonless papers have the chemical composition which
damages the pad and pickroller. Therefore, note the follow-
ing remarks.
Cleaning : If the miss pick occurs frequently, clean the pad
and pickroller in accordance with the section
5.3.2.
Replacement of parts : The life of the pad and the pickroller
may be shorter than the case that PPC document
is fed. Replacement cycle of the pad and the
pickroller may be 100,000 sheets or more if the
paper quality is good and cleaning is done well.
Before you start the large quantity reading,
check the replacement cycle of them and prepare
pads and pickrollers.

APPENDIX B
B.1 Test mode for maintenance
CAUTION: Please follow the procedure here or the offset data may be changed incor-
rectly. If the scanner does not react as the procedure below, turn off the
scanner and start from the beginning.
(1) Activating a test mode
Open the ADF cover and set the sensors to the following state before turning on the
image scanner. The image scanner can be placed in the maintenance mode by pulling out
the empty sensor lever and setting the A4 size sensor lever to down position (do not
change the setting of other paper size sensors) with the ADF cover fully opened (see
Figure below). If the image scanner is placed in the maintenance mode, the POWER lamp
blinks. If the POWER lamp does not blink, turn off the power and try again. Then close
the ADF.

(2) Activating the continuous operation test
Open the ADF and close it again. If no document is loaded on the ADF within five
seconds after closing the ADF cover, the image scanner runs in flatbed mode. If docu-
ments are loaded on the ADF within five seconds after closing the ADF cover, the image
scanner continuously feeds the document from ADF. Once the image scanner start
reading documents in the flatbed mode, it does not feed documents from ADF even if
documents are loaded on the ADF.
(3) Ending the test in flatbed mode
To stop the carrier movement in flatbed mode, open the ADF cover. If the ADF cover is
opened, the POWER lamp starts blinking immediately after the carrier returns to the
home position.
(4) Ending the test in ADF mode
If the ADF document hopper is empty, feeding documents from the ADF ends. To restart
feeding, open the ADF cover and close it again. Then load documents on the ADF docu-
ment hopper within five seconds after closing the ADF cover.
(5) LED status on error
If an error occurs during the test, the LED indicates as shown in table B.1.
If paper is jammed in the ADF, remove the jam and close the ADF. The CHECK lamp
stops blinking about three seconds after closing the ADF cover. To feed the document
from ADF, open and close the ADF.
