Cleaning the paper path
Vacuuming inside the
scanner
5-8
NOTE: Before doing the following procedure, clean the machine
thoroughly and use the roller cleaning pads to clean the feed,
separator and normal force rollers — start with a clean
machine.
The paper path should be cleaned twice a day, using the Paper Path
Cleaner to clean the paper path rollers. Feed a cleaning sheet with the
gum side up through the machine in both the portrait and landscape
orientation.
Before you clean the paper path, be sure the feed and separator rollers
and imaging guides have been cleaned.
1. To ensure complete coverage of the transport feed the cleaning
sheet in the center, and to the left and right of the feeder document
guides.
2. Repeat the procedure until no further residue is picked up by the
cleaning sheet.
3. Using a clean Paper Path Cleaner sheet, repeat Step 1 to verify that
the rollers are clean.
4. Turn the gum side down, and repeat Steps 1 through 3.
NOTE: When the gum side is down, it is necessary to hold down
the gap release lever to allow the Paper Path Cleaner sheet
to feed past the separator roller.
Regular use of Paper Path Cleaner sheets may result in fewer major
cleanings with the roller cleaning pads.
NOTE: If there are feeder errors after cleaning the feed and separator
rollers, refer to the section entitled "Adjusting the feed and
separator roller gap", in Chapter 2.
The sensors located under the horizontal plate in the feeder/horizontal
transport area and in the upper section of the lower roller housing
assembly, the exposure lamp housings, and the air filter should be
vacuumed or wiped down thoroughly with a clean, dry, soft, lint-free
cloth at least once a week.
Refer to the instructions and illustrations provided in the Chapter 7,
Troubleshooting, to assist in accessing the sensor locations.
