How to Clean FUJITSU Scanners

Document scanners are an important and valuable investment for any organization and keeping them clean is a must.

Proper maintenance is critical to prolong the life of the scanner. It is important to put a routine cleaning schedule in place to ensure paper dust and contaminants are not interfering with your scans causing residual artifacts, streaks, or speckles.

Warning: Never spray anything, including F1 cleaner or compressed air into the scanner.  Using compressed air may push contamination further into the scanner, beyond your reach.
