For Users

Power and Ground Connection

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.

When you operate this product, the power outlet should be near the product and easily accessible.

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.

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.

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.

Do not attempt to repair the power cord, or plug. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed, contact an authorized service representative for a replacement.

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.

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.

●What is the purpose of the 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

Proceed with the compensation when the colors in some parts of the scanned images differ in the extreme, or when the image quality fails to be improved even after the inside of the scanner is cleaned.

●Before proceeding with the shading adjustment

Before proceeding, be absolutely sure to thoroughly clean the ADF glass (F) area, ADF glass (B) area, reference plate (F) and reference plate (B) as well as the transport path and drive rollers of the scanning unit. If the shading adjustment is carried out while these parts are still dirty, it will not be possible to eliminate the lines that form on the 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. For further details, refer to section 4.6 in the User Utility Reference Manual.

Caution

If the scanned images are still lined after the shading adjustment has been performed and if these lines are not eliminated even after the ADF glass areas have been cleaned, it means that the shading has not been compensated properly. Clean the parts again, and then proceed with the shading adjustment.
