To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this section 
carefully before using the unit to ensure proper and safe 
operation of your unit.
≥ This section explains the graphic symbols used in 
this manual.∫ For Users
Power and Ground Connection
Denotes a potential 
hazard that could 
result in serious injury 
or death.
Denotes hazards that 
could result in minor 
injury or damage to the 
unit.
This symbol is used to alert 
operators to a specific 
operating procedure that must 
be performed carefully.
These symbols are used to 
alert operators to a specific

not be performed.
These symbols are used to 
alert operators to a specific 
operating procedure that must 
be emphasized in order to 
operate the unit safely.
WARNING
CAUTION
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.

Operating SafeguardsRoller Cleaning Paper
Power
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.
When disconnecting the unit, grasp the plug 
instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord 
forcibly can damage it, and cause fire or 
electric shock.
If metal fragments or water gets into the 
unit, turn the unit off, and unplug the unit 
immediately. Contact your dealer for 
service. Operating the contaminated unit 
can cause fire or electric shock.
Do not open covers, and do not attempt to 
repair the unit yourself. Contact your dealer 
for ser vice.
Do not alter the unit or modify any parts. 
Alteration or modification can cause fire or 
electric shock.
During thunderstorms, do not touch the unit 
and plug. It may cause an electric shock.
Do not drink or inha
le the roller cleaning 
paper fluid including isopropyl alcohol.
The roller cleaning paper may be harmful to 
sensitive skin. Please use protective gloves.
Do not use the roller cleaning paper near a 
heater or open flame.
The unit should be used only with the power 
cord enclosed with the unit.
When the unit is not used over an extended 
period of time, switch it off, and unplug it. If 
an unused unit is left connected to a power 
source for a long period, degraded 
insulation may cause electric shock, current 
leakage, or fire.
CAUTION

Installation and Relocation Operating Safeguards
Do not position the unit in a location where 
it is unstable.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not 
expose this unit to rain or any type of 
moisture.
Do not place the unit in a hot humid or 
dusty environment.
Prolonged exposure to these adverse 
conditions may cause fire or electric shock.
Do not block the air vents. Doing so can 
cause heat to build up, and may result in 
fire.
When moving the unit, be sure to unplug 
the power cord from the AC outlet. If the 
unit is moved with the power cord attached, 
it can cause damage to the cord which 
could result in fire or electric shock.
Move this unit with two persons, holding the 
four hollows on the front and rear sides. 
Dropping the unit can cause injury and 
damage to the unit.
Do not place printed materials containing 
magnetic ink characters or magnetic strip 
cards on the flatbed.
Magnets are located in the flatbed cover 
(flatbed sheet) and may damage data 
stored on printed materials and cards.
Hollows
If the unit falls down or gets damaged, turn 
the unit off, and unplug the power cord. 
Otherwise, it may cause fire or electric 
shock.
Do not place any liquids or heavy items on 
the unit.
Accidental spillage of liquid into the unit 
may cause severe damage. If this occurs,
