For Users  
For Your Safety  
To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this  
section carefully before using the unit to ensure proper  
and safe operation of your unit.  
WARNING  
This section explains the graphic symbols used  
in this manual.  
Power and Ground Connection  
Denotes a potential  
hazard that could  
result in serious  
The power source voltage of this unit is  
listed on the nameplate.  
Only plug the unit into an AC outlet with  
the proper voltage.  
If you use a cord with an unspecified  
current rating, the unit or plug may emit  
smoke or become hot to the touch.  
WARNING  
injury or death.  
Denotes hazards  
that could result in  
minor injury or  
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  
outlet. Otherwise, it can cause fire or  
electric shock.  
Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or chafe  
the power cord and plug.  
Damage to the power cord or plug can  
cause fire or electric shock.

Before You Start  
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.

Power  
Move this unit with two persons, and hold  
it by both side grips. Dropping the unit can  
cause injury and damage to the unit.  
The unit should be used only with the  
power cord enclosed with the unit.  
When the unit is not used over an  
extended period of time, switch it off, and  
unplug it. If an unused unit is left  
connected to a power source for a long  
period, degraded insulation may cause  
electric shock, current leakage, or fire.  
Installation and Relocation  
Operating Safeguards  
Do not position the unit in a location where  
it is unstable.  
If the unit falls down or gets damaged, turn  
the unit off, and unplug the power cord.  
Otherwise, it may cause fire or electric  
shock.  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not  
expose this unit to rain or any type of  
moisture.  
Do not place any liquids or heavy items on  
the unit.  
Accidental spillage of liquid into the unit  
may cause severe damage. If this occurs,  
turn the unit off, unplug the power cord,  
and contact your dealer for service.  
Do not place the unit in a hot humid or  
dusty environment.  
Prolonged exposure to these adverse  
conditions may cause fire or electric  
shock.  
Do not touch the scanning glass or their  
surroundings immediately after  
continuous scanning.  
Do not block the air vents. Doing so can  
cause heat to build up, and may result in  
fire.  
This area is very hot and can cause burns.  
When moving the unit, be sure to unplug  
the power cord from the AC outlet. If the  
unit is moved with the power cord  
Be careful not to pinch your fingers when

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  
If the shading adjustment has not been performed properly, then lines might appear on scanned images  
even after adjusting the shading or lines might not be eliminated even after cleaning the scanning glass.  
Clean the parts, and then adjust the shading again.
