Cleaning The Feed Rollers - Kodak Ngenuity 9000 Series User Manual

Cleaning the feed rollers

5-4
Feed rollers include the skimmer (pick and drive) roller and separator
roller.
All feed rollers should be cleaned and/or replaced at the same time to
ensure optimal scanner function. Maintenance reminder intervals (both
cleaning and replacing) are based on all feed rollers having the same
life cycle.
Cleaning the skimmer rollers
The skimmer module is comprised of two rollers; the pick roller and the
drive roller. Both rollers contain two, removable rubber tires. One outer
edge of each tire contains at least 3 dots.

These dots are used as a point of reference for correctly installing the
tires on the roller and also the rollers into the skimmer housing. When
installing the tires, the 3 dots should always be facing left. If the
tires or rollers are installed incorrectly in the skimmer housing, the
skimmer module will not function properly.
All four tires and the separator roller should be replaced at the same
time.
When the skimmer rollers become dirty, they may begin to slip on paper
or cause multifeeds. To prevent feeding problems and avoid rubber tire
replacements, it is recommended that you clean the skimmer rollers
(tires) every 10,000 pages or as needed. Different document types, the
condition of the documents being scanned, and the volume of scanning
may require more frequent cleanings.
