Cleaning the paper path

Vacuuming inside the scanner

NOTE: Before doing the following procedure, clean the machine thoroughly and use the roller cleaning pads to clean the feed, separator and normal force rollers — start with a clean machine.

Use the Paper Path Cleaner to clean the paper path rollers. Periodically feed a cleaning sheet with the gum side up through the machine in both the portrait and landscape orientation.

The paper path should be cleaned twice a day. Before you clean the paper path, be sure the feed and separator rollers and imaging guides have been cleaned.

1.To ensure complete coverage of the transport and normal force rollers, feed the cleaning sheet in the center, and to the left and right of the feeder document guides.

2.Repeat the procedure until no further residue is picked up by the cleaning sheet.

3.Using a clean Paper Path Cleaner sheet, repeat Step 1 to verify that the rollers are clean.

4.Turn the gum side down, and repeat Steps 1 through 3.

NOTE: When the gum side is down, it may be necessary to hold down the gap release lever to allow the Paper Path Cleaner sheet to feed past the separator roller.

Regular use of Paper Path Cleaner sheets may result in fewer major cleanings with the roller cleaning pads.

NOTE: If there are feeder errors after cleaning the feed and separator rollers, refer to the section entitled “Adjusting the feed and separator roller gap”, in Chapter 2.

The sensors located under the horizontal plate in the feeder/horizontal transport area and in the upper section of the lower roller housing assembly, the exposure lamp housings, and the air filter should be vacuumed or wiped down thoroughly with a clean, dry, soft, lint-free cloth at least once a week.

Refer to the instructions and illustrations provided in the Chapter 7, Troubleshooting, to assist in accessing the sensor locations.
