Cleaning the Scanner
Regular maintenance of your scanner can help to ensure continual optimal performance.
Using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth, wipe down all plastic surfaces on the outside of the scanner, input tray and paper
exit path.
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.
1. Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
2. Pull on the ADF cover to open the scanner.
3. Wipe the feed roller from side to side. Rotate the roller to clean its entire surface.
The feed roller is located in the underside of the ADF door.
4. Wipe the ADF pad from top to bottom.
5. Close the ADF cover. Carefully press down on the ADF cover until it locks in place with a “click”.
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.
