You may need to clean the ADF feed mechanism if your documents do
not feed easily into the ADF, or several feed in at the same time.
To clean the ADF:
1. Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl rubbing alcohol (95%).
2. Press the ADF cover release to open the ADF cover.
3. Wipe the feed roller from side to side. Rotate the roller to clean its
entire surface.
4. Wipe the ADF pad from top to bottom. Be careful not to snag the
cloth on the springs on either side of the pad.
5. Close the cover when you’re finished.
Note: Please be careful when cleaning the roller. The roller is designed
to rotate in one direction only. As you’re cleaning the roller, make sure
it rotates easily, and continue rotating it in that direction while wiping
it clean. Do NOT force the roller to rotate in the opposite direction.
Forcing the roller to rotate will damage it, and may cause the scanner
to feed pages incorrectly.
