Manual Feeder Cleaning

If originals that have been fed through the feeder have streaks or appear dirty, clean the feeder's scanning area and the rollers.

Clean the rollers of the feeder with a cloth which is wrung after being dampened in water, and then wipe them clean with a soft, dry cloth.

IMPORTANT
Spin the rollers while cleaning them. If the document feed scanning area is dirty, documents may not be scanned clearly, and the size of the document may not be detected correctly.

NOTE
This procedure is necessary only if the Duplex Color Image Reader Unit-G1 is attached.
