Replacing the Roller Assembly
After extended use, the roller may wear out and may need to be replaced.
It is a user-replaceable part and can be ordered. See “Xerox DocuMate
162 Scanner Parts List” on page 78 for the part number.
Frequent paper jams are a symptom of a worn roller assembly. A worn
roller can cause documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple
pages to feed at the same time. A worn roller should be replaced to avoid
damage to the scanner’s internal parts. However, before replacing the
roller you should clean it first as excessive dust on the roller will make it
appear worn and smooth to the touch. You cannot properly diagnose a
worn roller until you have cleaned it.
To replace the roller assembly:
1. Open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
2. Take out the paper input tray.
3. 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.
The roller is located in
the body of the scanner
behind the input tray.
