About the Power Supply
• Do not use an AC adapter other than the one supplied with the scanner.
Other adapters may damage the equipment.
• Avoid plugging in numerous devices to the same electrical outlet. If
possible, plug the scanner into a dedicated outlet. Devices sharing the
outlet will drop the voltage and create static, reducing the scanner’s
performance. If sharing is unavoidable, use a voltage regulating power
supply or a noise reduction device.
• Check to ensure that the electrical outlet supplying the equipment has
sufficient capacity.
• If the AC adapter is used with an extension, ensure that the total power
cord length is no greater than 5 meters (16 feet). Longer cords will drop
the voltage and may degrade scanner performance.
• Do not handle the AC adapter with wet hands to prevent the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not continue using an AC adapter with a frayed, damaged or modi-
fied power cord.
• Avoid frequent unplugging and plugging in of the AC adapter. It may
result in a poor electrical connection.
