Cleaning the Automatic Document
Feeder
You may need to clean the ADF feed mechanism if your documents do not feed easily into the
ADF, or several feed in at the same time.
1. Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl rubbing alcohol (95%).
2. Open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
3. Wipe the feed roller from side to side. Rotate the roller to clean its entire surface.
4. Close the cover when you’re finished.
Please be careful when cleaning the rollers. The rollers are 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 the scanner, and may cause the scanner to feed pages
incorrectly.
