Understanding the Scanner Maintenance Kit
The scanner maintenance kit comprises two key components: the pickup roll assembly and the separator roll assembly. The pickup roll assembly is found inside the top cover, while the separator roll assembly is located within the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).
Section 1: Changing the Pickup Roll Assembly (Steps 1-4)
Step 1: Open Scanner Cover and Release Latches
To begin the replacement process, open the scanner cover and twist out the latches. These latches secure the pickup roll assembly in place.
Step 2: Remove Pickup Roll
Gently pull out the pickup roll assembly from the cover. This is a critical step in the maintenance process.
Step 3: Insert New Pickup Roll
Insert the new pickup roll, ensuring it settles into the designated troughs. Secure the roll in place by twisting and locking the handles back into their original positions.
Step 4: Final Adjustments
Press up on the separator assembly and ensure everything is securely in place. This marks the completion of the pickup roll replacement.
Section 2: Changing the Separator Roll Assembly (Steps 1-5)
Step 1: Open Scanner Cover and Lift Black Cover
Access the separator roll assembly by opening the scanner cover and lifting the black cover. Swing it out of the way for easy access.
Step 2: Tilt and Lift Separator Assembly
Using your finger, tilt and lift the separator assembly from its position. This is crucial for a smooth replacement process.
Step 3: Insert New Separator Assembly
Carefully place the new separator assembly into the designated slots inside the ADF. Ensure a secure fit by giving it a gentle push.
Step 4: Reattach Black Cover
Place the black cover with cork back into position, aligning the tangs with their respective holes. Rotate the cover down and push to secure it in the latch area.
