Cleaning the Document Feed Rollers

If the document feed rollers in the ADF are contaminated with ink, toner particles or paper dust, documents and outputs get dirty and a paper jam may occur. Clean the document feed rollers and the document separating pad once a month to prevent these problems.

Note

Do not use benzine, thinners, or alcohol. They may damage the plastic parts of the machine.

  1. Check the ADF cover.

  2. Open the ADF cover.

  3. Open the Roller cover.

  4. Wipe the document feed rollers with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water. Wipe the whole surface of the roller while turning it with your hand.

  5. Push and close the Roller cover.

  6. Wipe the document separating pad (a) with a wet cloth that has been wrung out well.

    Memo

    If the document feed roller is very dirty, wipe gently with a soft cloth that has been moistened with neutral detergent and squeezed well, and then wipe again with a soft cloth that has been slightly moistened with water and squeezed well.

  7. Close the ADF cover.
