Section 1: Separator Roll

 

Step 1: Open the Top Cover

The first step is to open the top cover. Locate the gray latch next to the letter D, lift it up, and watch as the entire top section opens. This exposes two crucial components of the scanner maintenance kit: the pickup rolls and the separator roll. First let’s begin with the separator roll.

Step 3: Remove the Separator Roll

Once removed, pull the small orange tab back to release the roll, then slide the roll off the shaft. Remember the orientation of the slots in the back of the roll, as they will mate with the white clutch.

Section 2: Feed Roll Maintenance

 

Step 1: Remove Orange Cover

Moving on to the feed rolls, remove the orange cover by pushing it down with two fingers and swinging it out.

 

Step 2: Swing Assembly Up

For the top feed roll, rotate it up, press the orange nob to the rear, and slide the assembly off the shaft.

 

Step 3: Remove Bottom Roller

For the bottom feed roll, you will need to grasp the whole orange assembly between two fingers. Then compress the spring, twist and turn the assembly, and pull it to the rear.

Step 4: Replace the Bottom Roller

Insert the new bottom roller’s white bushing into the black housing, keeping it at an angle, and press the spring. Swing the assembly inside, allowing the pickup roll's shaft to go into the rear brass bushing. Swing the assembly back into place.

 

Step 5: Insert New Top Roller

For the upper pickup roll, insert it into the cavity with the orange part towards the front of the machine. Slide it to the rear onto the shaft and push it down.

 

Step 6: Replace the Orange Cover and Close the Top Cover

To complete the feed roll maintenance, replace the orange cover, ensuring the two teeth match the two holes in the black housing. Swing the assembly back into place and click it securely. Close the top cover to finish the process.
