Cleaning the ADF

Clean the ADF in the following procedure.

• The glasses inside the ADF become very hot when the scanner is being used.
  Before you start cleaning the inside, make sure to turn off the power, unplug the power cable and wait at least 15 minutes for the ADF glass to cool down.
• Do not use water or mild detergent to clean the inside of the scanner.

1. Turn off the scanner and wait for at least 15 minutes.
2. Pull the ADF release tab towards you to open the ADF.
