Guide Flap Cleaning and Replacement

The guide flap on the base of the ADF
keeps documents at the correct
scanning position and guides them into
the output tray after scanning. To
prevent printing ink and other contami-
nants from accumulating on the flap and
interfering with image quality, wipe it
periodically with a ink-free cloth or
swab cotton swab moistened with
industrial alcohol.
After prolonged use, the surface of the
flap may become scratched. This causes
lines to appear in scanned images which
can create OCR errors. Should the
scratches appear, detach the flap, and
replace it with a new one.

Roller Cleaning

Prolonged use of the ADF may result in
accumulation of ink and other contami-
nants on the feeder's input roller,
reducing the roller's efficiency. Check
for dirt on the roller if the ADF starts to
have trouble pulling paper through
properly. The input roller should be
cleaned periodically using a lint-free
cloth or swab moistened with ethylene
chloride.
Note: Do not attempt to turn the roller
while cleaning it; this may damage the
ADF's drive mechanism.
