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. Dampen a soft cloth with some Isopropyl rubbing alcohol (95%).
2. Press the ADF cover release on the top left of the scanner body to
open the automatic document feeder cover.
3. Wipe the feed roller from side to side. Rotate the roller to clean its
entire surface.
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.
