As the separator roller becomes dirty from paper dust, ink or toner transfer, it may begin

to cause multifeeds. To prevent feeding problems, clean the separator roller once per

week or as needed.

Note

Different types of documents and their condition may require more frequent

cleanings to avoid intermittent multifeeds.

Take the following steps to clean the separator roller:

1. Remove the separator roller (refer to section

Sleeve

Assembly, following steps 1 through 9).

2. Clean the separator roller sleeve using a dust free cloth dampened in fresh water.

Scrub the roller, wiping from side to side with a clean section of the wet cloth. Repeat

as necessary till the roller is free of dust and dirt. Wipe the roller dry by using a dry

section of the cloth.

3. Avoid touching the roller sleeve (rubber material) with your fingers. Hold the roller by

the end. Wipe the roller sleeve from side to side using the Glass & Roller Cleaner

along with the Glass Cleaning Cloth. This removes any remaining oil film from the

roller surface.

4. Reinstall separator roller (refer to section

Sleeve

Assembly, following steps 9 through 20).
