MAINTAINENCE 

6.1  CLEANING THE ADF   

The scanner is designed to be maintenance free.  
However, it still needs to be cleaned occasionally 
to ensure optimum image quality and 
performance. 
 
From time to time the pad assembly and feeding 
rollers may become contaminated with ink, toner 
particles or paper dust.  In this case the scanner 
may not feed documents smoothly or several 
documents may feed at once.  If this occurs 
please follow the cleaning procedures to return 
your scanner to its original state.   

 

The cleaning procedures   

 

i). 

Moisten a cotton swab with isoprophyl 
alcohol (95%).  (Cleaner kits are available 
from PictureVision.) 

ii). 

Carefully open the ADF to the left .  Wipe 
the feeding rollers by moving the swab from 
side to side.  Rotate the rollers forward 
with your finger and repeat the above 
cleaning procedures until the rollers are 
clean.  Be careful not to snag or damage 
the pick springs. 

iii). 

Wipe the pad in the direction from top to 
bottom.  Be careful not to hook the pick 
springs.
