Cleaning the Scanner

Regular maintenance of your scanner can help to ensure continual optimal performance.

Cleaning the Automatic Document Feeder

You may need to clean the ADF feed mechanism if documents do not feed easily into the ADF, or several feed in at the same time.

To clean the ADF:

1.Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).

2.Open the ADF cover.

3.Wipe the feed roller from side to side. Rotate the roller to clean its entire surface.

NOTE: Please be careful when cleaning the roller. The roller is designed to rotate in one direction only. As you’re cleaning the roller, make sure it rotates easily, and continue rotating it in that direction while wiping it clean. Do NOT force the roller to rotate in the opposite direction. Forcing the roller to rotate will damage it, and may cause the scanner to feed pages incorrectly.
