This lets you transform your scanner and printer into a convenient copy station. 1. Place the documents to be scanned on the ADF's Document Feed Tray. 2.
Care and Cleaning To ensure optimal performance from the ArtixScan DI 3020c / 8040c, it is important to clean several critical parts of the scanner on a regular basis. Cleaning the Scanner Glass Surface 1. Lift the ADF. 2. Then use a soft, non-abrasive and lint-free cloth to gently wipe the rear and front glass surface areas on the scanner flatbed.
Cleaning the Mylar Cartridge Use the same kind of cloth for cleaning the scanner glass surface to clean the black Mylar cartridge located at the bottom of the ADF. Cleaning the Rollers Prolonged used of the ADF may result in accumulation of ink and other residue on the feeder’s rollers, affecting their efficiency.
To clean the rollers under the ADF cover: 1. Push the button at the top of the ADF to release and lift up the ADF cover. 2. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth or a swab moistened with alcohol or ECO cleaner, as shown in the graphic below.
To clean the rollers under the Document Feed Tray: 1. Push the button at the top of the ADF, then lift the Document Feed Tray along with the ADF cover. 2. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth or a swab moistened with alcohol or ECO cleaner, as shown in the graphic below.
Maintenance The separation pad assembly and the feed-roller assembly in your Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) are designed to make document feeding smooth. After usage for a period of time, the separation pad assembly and feed-roller assembly may become worn, and a problem such as document double-feed may occur. In this case, check either the separation pad assembly or the feed-roller assembly, and replace them if needed.
• The recommended replacement point for the two separation pad assemblies is approximately 30,000 sheets. • Please contact your local resellers for purchasing new separation pad assembly. Replacing the Feed-Roller Assembly 1. Press the button at the top of the ADF, then move the cover of the feeder up to see the feed-roller assembly, as indicated in the right graphic.
