Clearing Paper Jams
If your scanner stops scanning due to a paper jam in the Automatic Document Feeder, a warning 
opens after a few moments.
1. Open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
Do not attempt to remove a jammed page with the scanner closed.
2. Remove the jammed paper and close the cover.
To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paper before scanning, adjust 
the guides to the paper size, and insert the paper evenly into the ADF.
Cleaning the Scanner
Regular maintenance of your scanner can help to ensure continual optimal performance. 
Using a soft, lint-free cloth, wipe down all plastic surfaces on the scanner.
Cleaning Inside the Automatic Document Feeder
Cleaning the inside of the scanner helps to keep your scanner operating at optimum performance. 
You should clean the inside of the scanner at least once a week or after 1,000 pages have been 
scanned. If you are getting frequent paper jams, multiple pages feeding at the same time, or 
you’re seeing lines in the scanned image, it is time to clean the scanner.

Note: Be careful when cleaning the rollers. All of the rollers, except the free rollers, are designed to 
rotate in one direction only. Do not force the roller to rotate in the opposite direction. Forcing the 
roller to rotate will damage it, and cause the scanner to feed pages incorrectly.
1. Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl rubbing alcohol (70%).
2. Open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
3. Wipe clean the feed rollers and scanner glass in the scanner body. 
Wipe the feed roller from side to side. Rotate the roller to clean its entire surface.
4. Wipe clean the free rollers, ADF pad or separation roller, and scanner glass in the under side of 
the ADF door.
Be careful not to snag the cloth on the spring arms of the ADF pad.
The ADF pad is located on the top of the duplex lamp module.

5. Close the scanner when you’re finished.
Replacing the ADF Pad Assembly
Problems with documents feeding into the ADF is an indication that the pad is wearing thin. The 
usage life of the ADF pad varies by what type of documents are generally scanned. Scanning large 
batches of heavily textured paper and embossed plastic cards will cause the ADF pad to wear 
faster. Large continuous batch scanning will also cause the ADF pad to wear faster. The ADF pad 
can be used to scan up to 30,000 pages. 
You received a replacement pad in the original scanner box, you can also order a new one. 
Replacement parts can be purchased from the Parts & Accessories page for your scanner at 
www.xeroxscanners.com
.
1. Open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.

2. Squeeze the plastic clamps that hold the pad assembly in place and lift the pad up and out. 
Reverse the procedure to replace the new pad into its slots.
3. Close the scanner when you’re finished.
Replacing the Feed Roller
The roller will wear out and is designed to be a user-replaceable part. A worn roller can cause 
documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. Before 
replacing the roller you should clean it as excessive dust on the roller will make it appear worn and 
smooth. You cannot properly diagnose a worn roller until you have cleaned it. You should generally 
replace the roller every 160,000 to 200,000 scans.
Replacement parts can be purchased from the Parts & Accessories page for your scanner at

5. Remove the roller from the scanner and discard it, it cannot be repaired.
6. Before installing the new roller, clean any dust that may have gotten on it during shipping. 
7. Insert the left end of the new roller assembly into the hole in the roller channel. Angle the 
roller module up and into the roller channel. Align the tab on the lock flange with the slot in 
the scanner.
Hold the feed roller module fully in the scanner door while you lock it in place. 
8. Use the lever to rotate the locking tab into the slot in the scanner.  Push on the lever until it 
clicks in place and locks the roller in the scanner. 
The lock will “click” into place when it is secure. However, if it does not rotate easily into the 
housing, make sure the flange is properly seated in its latch.
