Chapter 5 Maintenance
5-1 Cleaning the ADF
Your scanner is designed to be maintenance free. However it
still needs to be cleaned occasionally to ensure optimum image
quality and performance.
The scanner parts may be contaminated with ink, toner particles
or paper coatings. Consequently, the scanner will need to be
cleaned frequently in case:
1) Documents do not feed smoothly or easily.
2) Several documents feed at one time.
The cleaning procedure (Figure 5-1)
1) Soak a cotton swab with some isopropyl alcohol.(95%).
2) Open the scanner front door and wipe the upper Feeding
Roller by moving the swab from side to side. Rotate the
roller forward with your finger and repeat the cleaning
steps until the entire roller is cleaned. Be careful not to snag
or damage the pick springs.
3) Wipe the pad in one uniform direction, from top to bottom
or the other way around. Be careful not to damage the pick
springs.
4) Close the scanner front door. Your scanner is now ready
for use.
