Replacing the Roller Assembly Kit

The roller assembly kit (the pickup roller and the separation roller) needs to be replaced when the number of scans exceeds the life cycle of the rollers. When a replacement message is displayed on your computer screen, follow the steps below to replace it.

A: Separation Roller, B: Pickup roller

Note:

Replace the roller assembly kit while the scanner is turned on.

1. Open the input tray, and pull the lever to open the scanner cover.

   

2. Remove the separation roller cover as shown.

   

3. Remove the separation roller as shown.

   
   Important:

   Do not pull out the separation roller forcibly. This could damage the inside of the scanner.

4. Attach the new separation roller as shown. Insert the axis of the separation roller into the hole on the right side, and then lower the separation roller.

   

5. Attach the separation roller cover as shown. Insert the axis on the upper side of the cover into the grooves, and then close the cover firmly.

   
   Important:

   • Make sure the cover is closed correctly.

6. Open the cover of the pickup roller.

   Make sure the indentations are aligned.

   Important:

   If the cover is hard to close, make sure the pickup rollers are installed correctly, and that the protruding parts are aligned.

10. Close the scanner cover with both hands. Next, close the input tray.
