7.1.
Cleaning the Feed Rollers
Over time, the feed rollers in the scanner will accumulate dirt from the documents being
scanned, necessitating that they be cleaned regularly. When dirty, the feed rollers have a
greater tendency to slip, misfeed, or jam, resulting in poor quality images.
To clean the feed rollers, an alcohol or water-based solution should be used. “Notebook screen
cleaning wipes” or alcohol prep wipes/swabs are recommended, as long as they are water or
alcohol-based.
Do NOT use an ammonia-based cleaner.
There are a series of DIP switches on the rear of the scanner. By default, all ID-1xx scanners are
shipped with their service DIP switches set to the OFF (UP) position. DIP switch #3 will put the
rollers into a repetitive back and forth spin mode that is useful for cleaning the rollers.
