HEED ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS 
DESCRIBED BELOW. 
WARNING
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing 
so might cause electric shock. 
A damaged AC cable may cause fire or electric 
shock. 
Do not place heavy objects on AC cables, or pull, 
bend, twist, heat, damage or modify AC cables. 
Also, do not use damaged AC cables or power 
plugs, and AC cables or power plugs when the wall 
socket is loose. 
Do not use cables other than the ones supplied with 
this product. Use only specified AC cables and 
connector cables. Failure to use the correct cables 
might cause electric shock and equipment failure. 
Use this scanner only at the indicated power voltage 
and current. Improper power voltage and current 
might cause fire or electric shock. 
Also, do not connect to multiple-power strips.
Wipe off any dust from metal parts on the power 
plug or metal fittings with a soft, dry cloth. 
Accumulated dust might cause fire or electric shock.
Do not install the scanner in locations subject to oil 
smoke, steam, humidity, and dust. Doing so might 
cause a fire or electric shock. 
If you detect heat coming from the device or detect 
other problems such as smoke, strange smells or 
noises, immediately turn off the scanner and then 
disconnect its power plug. 
Make sure that the smoking has stopped, and then 
contact the store where you bought the scanner or 
an authorized FUJITSU scanner service provider.
If the scanner is damaged for any reason, turn off 
the scanner and unplug the power cable before 
contacting the store where you purchased the 
scanner. 
Do not insert or drop metal objects into the scanner.
Do not scan wet documents or documents with 
paper clips or staples. 
Do not splash or allow the scanner to get wet.
If foreign objects (water, small metal objects, liquids, 
etc.) get inside the scanner, immediately turn off the 
scanner and disconnect the power plug from the 
power outlet, then contact the store where you 
bought the scanner or the Maintenance Service 
Center. Pay particular attention to this warning in 
households where there are small children.

of the scanner contains high-voltage components. 
Touching these components might cause fire or 
electric shock. 
 
 
 
CAUTION
The following describes important cautions.
Install the scanner on a desk so that none of its 
parts protrude outside of the desktop. Also, make 
sure that the scanner is installed on a flat, level 
surface 
Do not install the scanner on unstable surfaces. 
Install the scanner on a level surface that is free of 
vibration to prevent it from falling. 
Install the scanner on a strong surface that will 
support the weight of the scanner and other 
devices. 
Firmly insert the power plug into the power outlet as 
far it can go. 
Install the scanner away from strong magnetic fields 
and other sources of electronic noise. Also, protect 
the scanner from static electricity as this might 
cause the scanner to malfunction. 
Do not use aerosol sprays to clean the scanner. 
Aerosol sprays cause dirt and dust to enter the 
scanner, resulting in scanner failure and 
malfunction. 
When the scanner is not used for a long period, be 
sure to disconnect the power plug from the power 
outlet for safety. 
Do not install the scanner in the direct sunlight or 
near heating apparatus. Doing so might cause 
excessive heat to build up inside the scanner, 
causing fire or scanner trouble. Install the scanner in 
a well-ventilated location. 
Do not block the ventilation ports. Blocking the 
ventilation ports generates heat inside of scanner, 
which may result in fire or scanner failure. 
Do not place heavy objects on the scanner or use 
the scanner's top surface for performing other work. 
Improper installation might cause injuries. 
Do not move the scanner with the power and 
interface cables connected as this might damage 
the cables, causing fire, electric shock or injuries. 
Before moving the scanner, be sure to disconnect 
the power plug from the power outlet, and 
disconnect data cables. Also, make sure that the 
floor is free of obstructions. 
Avoid touching any scanner mechanism when 
scanning as this may cause injuries. 
Do not use the device immediately after moving it 
from a cold place to a warm room. This may cause 
condensation, which might lead to scanning errors. 
Let the device dry about one or two hours before 
you use it.
