5. Operating Instructions
The Fi-6240Z offers two primary scanning methods: Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and Flatbed.
5.1 Using the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
The ADF is ideal for scanning multiple pages quickly.
- Prepare Documents: Remove staples, paper clips, and any other fasteners. Ensure documents are free of tears or folds that could cause jams.
- Load Documents: Extend the ADF input tray and adjust the side guides to fit your document stack. Place up to 100 sheets face-down into the input tray.
- Select Scan Profile: Open your scanning software on the computer and select the desired scan profile (e.g., color, grayscale, resolution, destination).
- Start Scan: Press the Scan/Stop button on the scanner's control panel (refer to Figure 8) or initiate the scan from your software.
- Paper Protection Technology: The scanner features Paper Protection technology, which automatically stops the scanning process if a jam is detected, helping to prevent damage to valuable documents.
- Intelligent Multi-Feed Function (iMFF): This feature helps prevent false multi-feed detections by ignoring items like sticky notes or attached receipts, improving scanning efficiency.
- Intelligent Capture Correction Function (iCCF): This internal hardware-based function provides automatic color recognition, size detection, and de-skew correction for high-quality images.
5.2 Using the Flatbed
The flatbed is suitable for scanning single pages, delicate documents, books, or irregular-sized items.
- Open Flatbed Cover: Lift the flatbed cover (refer to Figure 4).
- Place Document: Place the document face-down on the glass platen, aligning it with the corner guide.
- Close Cover: Gently close the flatbed cover.
- Select Scan Profile: In your scanning software, select the appropriate scan profile for flatbed scanning.
- Start Scan: Initiate the scan from your software.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your scanner.
- Cleaning the Glass Platen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with a non-abrasive glass cleaner to wipe the flatbed glass.
- Cleaning Rollers: Periodically clean the ADF rollers with a roller cleaning kit or a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Dirty rollers can cause paper feeding issues.
- Replacing Consumables: The ADF rollers are consumable parts and will need replacement over time. Refer to the Fujitsu support website or your dealer for replacement parts (e.g., roller kits).
- External Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the scanner with a soft, dry cloth.
Note: Always power off and unplug the scanner before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
