CAUTION
damage to the unit.
When you operate this product, the power
outlet should be near the product and
easily accessible.
These symbols are used to alert
operators to a specific operating
procedure that must be performed
carefully.
To ensure safe operation, the power cord
supplied must be inserted into a standard
three-prong AC outlet which is effectively
grounded (earthed) through the normal
wiring.
These symbols are used to alert
operators to a specific operating
procedure that must not be
performed.
The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the
power point is grounded (earthed) and
that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if in any doubt about the
effective grounding (earthing) of the
power point, consult a qualified
electrician.
These symbols are used to alert
operators to a specific operating
procedure that must be
emphasized in order to operate
the unit safely.
If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to
replace the AC outlet with a properly
grounded (earthed) one.
Do not defeat the grounding (earthing)
plug (ex. do not use a conversion plug).
Plug the power cord firmly into an AC

Roller Cleaning Paper
Do not attempt to repair the power cord or
plug. If the power cord or plug is damaged
or frayed, contact your dealer for a
replacement.
Do not use the roller cleaning paper near
a heater or open flame.
Ensure that the plug connection is free of
dust. In a damp environment, a
contaminated connector can draw a
significant amount of current that can
generate heat, and eventually cause fire
if left unattended over an extended period
of time.
Do not drink or inhale the roller cleaning
paper fluid including isopropyl alcohol.
The roller cleaning paper may be harmful
to sensitive skin. Please use protective
gloves.
Never touch the plug with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if the unit
emits smoke, excessive heat, abnormal
smell, or unusual noise. These conditions
can cause fire or electric shock.
Immediately turn the unit off, and unplug
the power cord, and contact your dealer
for service.
When disconnecting the unit, grasp the
plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord
forcibly can damage it, and cause fire or
electric shock.
Operating Safeguards
If metal fragments or water gets into the
unit, turn the unit off, and unplug the unit
immediately. Contact your dealer for
service. Operating the contaminated unit
can cause fire or electric shock.
Do not open covers, and do not attempt to
repair the unit yourself. Contact your
dealer for service.
Do not alter the unit or modify any parts.
Alteration or modification can cause fire or
electric shock.
During thunderstorms, do not touch the
unit and plug. It may cause an electric
shock.

dusty environment.
Prolonged exposure to these adverse
conditions may cause fire or electric
shock.

Shading Adjustment
About shading adjustment
The shading adjustment function corrects variations in the lamp intensity and pixel sensor sensitivity, and
reduces unevenness in density in scanned images. It can be carried out by means of the User Utility using the
special shading paper, which is provided with this scanner.
When shading adjustment is required
Perform shading adjustment when the density and brightness of sections of scanned images is considerably
uneven, or when image quality does not improve after cleaning the inside of the scanner.
Before proceeding with the shading adjustment
Before beginning shading adjustment, thoroughly clean the scanning glass (F), scanning glass (B), conveyors
in the scanning area, self-cleaning brushes, ion outlets, and all rollers.
If you perform shading adjustment while these parts are dirty, lines will appear on scanned images.
Shading adjustment procedure
1. Start the User Utility.
2. Click "User Shading" on the main menu, and operate as the image display dictates.
Note
•
For further details, refer to section "[User Shading]" in the help for User Utility.
Notice
