sheets scanned after you cleaned it last.

● The procedure when using the touch screen is as follows.
1 On the touch screen, press → [Cleaning & Maintenance] → [Consumable counters].
2 On the [Consumable counters] screen, check the value for [After cleaning].
- When the background color of the counter is yellow
It is about time to clean the scanner.
- When the background color of the counter is red
It is time to clean the scanner. Clean the scanner.
● When using the Software Operation Panel, refer to Checking the Sheet Counters (page 322) .

performed more frequently when the following types of documents are scanned:
