5 Maintenance
This chapter provides:
• a cleaning frequency chart
• a list of cleaning tools and materials
• a list of supplies, consumables and accessories
• cleaning procedures for the scanner
• replacement procedures for customer-replaceable parts
IMPORTANT: Scanner components marked with a green tab indicate
operator-accessible parts.
Cleaning your scanner and preventative maintenance on a regular
basis is required to ensure the best possible image quality. The
following is a preventative maintenance procedure that is
recommended to prevent costly interruptions during production
scanning. Following this procedure as recommended should take
approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Some document types generate more paper dust and debris and may
require more frequent cleaning than recommended.
NOTES:
• Some debris from the rubber tires on the feed module and separation
roller is normal. Tire debris does not always mean that the tires are
worn or damaged. After cleaning, inspect the tires for wear and
replace the separation roller or feed module if necessary.
• When cleaning rollers/tires, allow the rollers/tires to dry completely
before scanning.
• Use only the recommended cleaning supplies.
• Do not use canned/compressed air.
• Using unapproved cleaning fluids or solvents may damage the
rubber tires.

Replacement
procedures This section provides procedures for replacing the following parts. Use
the list below as a guideline for frequency of replacement.
•Feed module tires and separation roller tires — tire life will vary
depending upon paper types, environment and cleanliness. Nominal
tire life is approximately 600,000 documents; results will vary.
Degradation of feeder performance, multiple feeds, stoppages, etc.
indicate a need to change tires. Change all the tires on the feed
module and separation roller at the same time.
•Feed module and separation roller — it is recommended that you
install a new feed module and separation roller approximately every
4th tire change. Install a new feed module and separation roller at the
same time.
•Pre-separation pad — it is recommended that you change the pre-
separation pad at least as often as you change the feed module/
separation roller tires.
•Imaging guides — replace when the imaging guides are heavily
scratched and defects show in the image.
Replacing the feed module
or feed module tires 1. Remove the output tray.
2. Lift up the printer access cover.
3. Open the pod.

5-16 A-61555 May2010
4. Push down on the release lever (located underneath the printer
access cover) to release and remove the feed module.
5. If you are just replacing the feed module, do the following. If you are
replacing the tires, go to Step 6.
• Insert the new feed module by aligning the pins, fitting it into
position and pulling up on the release lever to lock it into place.
