Attaching the Sponge and Ferrite Cores When Replacing the FFC on the Scanner Unit
To replace the FFC, it is necessary to attach the sponge [A] and ferrite cores [B].
Attach them as follows.
- Pass the FFC through the ferrite cores [A].
- Attach the sponge along the line [a] on the FFC.
[C]: 1mm
[D]: Attach it within the width of the FFC.
If you forget to attach the sponge, the following problems may occur:
- The proximity of the analog signals produces crosstalk so that, depending on the document, vertical streaks may appear on the scanned image.
- Radio interference may be caused by contact with the metal plate.
Attach the double-sided adhesive tape here.
