2. The following illustration shows where the rollers are located in the scanner. Use a roller 
cleaning paper to clean all of the rollers indicated in the illustration.
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.
3. After cleaning the scanner you need to reset the roller count in the User Utility. 
From the main screen click on Clear Counter next to the field After Clean Roller.
4. The clean roller count will now be reset to 0. 
5. Close the User Utility.

Replacing the Rollers
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 between 160,000 and 200,000 scans. 
Replacement parts can be purchased from the Parts & Accessories page for your scanner at 
www.xeroxscanners.com
.
When replacing the rollers described in this section, you should replace all of the rollers at the 
same time. Do not replace just one roller and not the other. When you are finished replacing the 
roller, reset the roller count in the user utility as described on page 49.
Turn off the scanner power and unplug the power cord from the scanner. Press the ADF cover 
release button and open the scanner.
Replacing the Feed Roller
1. Locate the roller in the body of the scanner and pull open the roller cover.

Vertical Line Reduction
The vertical line reduction is used to improve the image quality of the scanned documents. If your 
final scanned files are of poor quality, such as perpendicular lines or the image clarity is uneven 
across the page, you may need to perform a vertical line reduction on the scanner.
To prepare for vertical line reduction:
• Clean the scanner rollers, image sensors, glass and reference plates, as described in the 
section “Cleaning the Scanner” on page 39.
• After cleaning the scanner, do a test scan and view the final image file. Do not perform a line 
reduction adjustment until after you clean the scanner and test scan. A line reduction 
adjustment performed before cleaning the scanner may result in degraded image quality.
• Have 3 sheets of clean white paper ready as the software will tell you when to insert it into the 
scanner.
To  c o m p l e t e  a  v e r t i cal line reduction:
1. Open the scanner User Utility application.
2. On the main window click on the Vertical Line Reduction... button.
3. Click on Start Vertical Line Reduction to begin the adjustment. The utility will guide you 
through the rest of the steps.
