Removing and Attaching the Rollers

Follow the relevant procedure to remove and attach the pickup roller, feed roller, and retard roller when you clean them or replace them.

IMPORTANT

Feed rollers are consumable parts. When the rollers start to wear out, paper jams and misfeeds may occur more often. When this happens, buy a exchange roller kit, and replace the pickup roller, feed roller, and the retard roller.

CAUTION

Turn ON the power to the scanner to remove or attach the pickup roller. Be careful when working on the scanner when the power is ON.

Do not use excessive force when removing or attaching the rollers. Doing so may damage them.

Roller Replacement Message

When the number of pages scanned has exceeded 250,000 pages, a roller replacement message appears on the computer when it is started. Buy a exchange roller kit, and replace the pickup roller, feed roller, and the retard roller.

IMPORTANT

If misfeeds happen often, check the rollers for wear, and replace them if necessary before the message is displayed.

Be sure to reset the counter when you replace the rollers. (See “Resetting the Counter,” on p. 68.)

Windows NT does not support the roller replacement message display. Check the number of pages that have been scanned in the “Total Scanning Count” in the version information for the ISIS/TWAIN driver, and use 250,000 pages as a guideline for replacing the rollers.
