Cleaning Inside the Automatic Document Feeder
Cleaning the inside of the scanner helps to keep your scanner operating at optimum performance. You should
clean the inside of the scanner at least once a week or after 1,000 pages have been scanned. If you are getting
frequent paper jams, multiple pages feeding at the same time, or you’re seeing lines in the scanned image, it is
time to clean the scanner.
Note: Be careful when cleaning the rollers. All of the rollers, except the free rollers, are designed to rotate in one
direction only. Do not force the roller to rotate in the opposite direction. Forcing the roller to rotate will damage it,
and cause the scanner to feed pages incorrectly.
1. Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl rubbing alcohol (70%).
2. Ensure the front feed tray is closed and open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
3. Wipe clean the rollers and glass in the scanner body. Rotate the rollers to clean the entire surface.
