NOTE
Adding some isopropyl alcohol (95%) on the cleaning cloth is more
efficient when cleaning the rollers.
Do not use any solvents or corrosive liquid (i.e., alcohol, kerosene,
etc.) to clean any part of the scanner, otherwise the plastic material
will be permanently damaged.
5.2 Replace the Feed Rollers
The feed roller and separation pad inside the scanner wear with scanning. If the feed
roller and separation pad are worn, documents may not feed correctly and paper jams
may occur. When document feed performance deteriorates, replace the feed roller and
separation pad.
NOTE
It is recommended to replace the feed roller or separation pad when the
total number of pages of documents fed in the scanner exceeds one of the
following quantities:
Feed Roller: 100,000 sheets
Separation Pad: 30,000 sheets
Follow these steps to replace the separation pad and feed roller.
To replace the Feed Roller,

6.3 Frequently asked questions and answers
Q Paper becomes jammed or multi-fed.
A 1. Flatten the corners and edges of your documents.
2. Thoroughly fan your documents before loading them into the scanner.
3. Reduce the number of pages that you load into the scanner at one time.
Q Paper becomes skewed in the scanner.
A
1. Align the document guides to fit the documents as closely as possibly
and place the documents so that they feed in straight.
2. Check the condition of the feeding roller. If necessary, follow the
cleaning directions in Section 5.1 and perform the cleaning.
Q When I choose optical resolution to be 600 dpi, the "auto crop" and
"deskew" functions will be disabled.
A Since to perform auto crop and deskew consumes great deal of system
memory, it is suggested if you wish to perform "auto crop" and "deskew"
functions, please choose your optical resolution to be smaller than 600 dpi to
prevent an error message.
