® ® Xerox DocuMate 3120 Loading Documents to Scan We recommend you limit the amount or completely avoid scanning documents that are in this list. • Curled, wrinkled or folded documents may cause paper jams or multiple pages being fed through the scanner at one time.
® ® Loading Documents to Scan Xerox DocuMate 3120 Scanning from the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) Preparing Documents for Scanning • Fan the documents to make sure all pages in the stack are separated. • Bend and then flatten the document stack to make sure the horizontal edges are aligned to help prevent paper from skewing while being pulled through the scanner.

® ® Maintenance Xerox DocuMate 3120 Replacing the ADF Pad Assembly Problems with documents feeding into the ADF is an indication that the pad is wearing thin. The usage life of the ADF pad varies by what type of documents are generally scanned. Scanning large batches of heavily textured paper and embossed plastic cards will cause the ADF pad to wear faster.
® ® Xerox DocuMate 3120 Maintenance Close the scanner when you’re finished. Replacing the Roller Assembly The roller will wear out and is designed to be a user-replaceable part. A worn roller can cause documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. Before replacing the roller you should clean it as excessive dust on the roller will make it appear worn and smooth.
Page 38
® ® Maintenance Xerox DocuMate 3120 Pull the paper guide away from the scanner. The replaceable roller is located behind the paper guides. The roller is held in place with a lock tab that rotates to lock and unlock it. To unlock the tab, rotate it upward until the small lock flange is completely free.
