Replacing the feed module
or feed module tires
7-8
This section provides procedures for replacing the following parts. Use the list
below as a guideline for frequency of replacement.
• Feed module tires and separation roller tires, including the Kodak
Ultra-lightweight Feed Module — tire life will vary depending upon paper
types, environment and cleanliness. Nominal tire life is approximately
500,000 documents; results will vary. Degradation of feeder performance,
multiple feeds, stoppages, etc. indicate a need to change tires. Separation
roller tires may wear faster than feed module tires. When replacing feed
module tires, all four tires should be replaced at the same time. When
replacing separation roller tires, both tires should be replaced at the same
time.
• Feed module and separation roller, including the Kodak Ultra-
lightweight feed module and separation roller — it is recommended
that you install a new feed module and separation roller every 4th tire
change. Install a new feed module and separation roller at the same time.
• Pre-separation pad, including the Kodak Ultra-lightweight pre-
separation pad — it is recommended that you change the pre-separation
pad at least as often as you change the feed module/separation roller tires.
• Imaging guides — replace when the imaging guides are heavily
scratched and defects show in the image.
NOTE: The illustrations in this section may be slightly different depending on
the consumable you are changing. For example, the ultralightweight
feed module looks slightly different than the standard feed module.
The installation procedures, however, are the same.
Meters should be maintained by the operator and reset when consumables are
changed. The meters do not reset automatically when a consumable is
changed. Meters show the number of pages scanned. For more information on
viewing and using the Maintenance meters see the section entitled, "Viewing
the Maintenance meters" in Chapter 3.
