How to Troubleshoot a Fujitsu Fi-5650C When it Overheats
- 1). Turn off your scanner immediately and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet if you detect smoke, heat or unusual odors coming from your scanner. Locate the on/off power switch behind your scanner directly above the power cable inlet for the power cord. Contact an authorized Fujitsu scanner technician to service your scanner after you ensure your scanner has stopped smoking (see Resources).
- 2). Unblock the ventilation ports on your scanner if you notice your scanner overheating. Blocked ventilation ports cause your scanner to overheat by generating heat inside. This heat buildup can cause your scanner to malfunction and cause a fire. Locate ventilation ports on the front and back of your scanner and move obstacles to another area or move your scanner away from a wall or other surface blocking the ports.
- 3). Move your Fujitsu scanner away from heating appliances and out of direct sunlight if your scanner overheats. The sunlight and other heat causes your scanner to build up an excess of heat inside, which can cause a fire or problems with your scanner. Relocate your scanner to a well-ventilated area.
