Replacing the separation
module tires
The i1200/i1300 Series Scanners use high quality tires that were
engineered to provide the ultimate in feeding reliability across the
broadest range of document types, sizes and thicknesses. When the
scanner is used in a normal office operating environment, the transport
and tires are cleaned using approved cleaning solutions on a regular
basis and the documents scanned are high quality 20 lb. bond office
paper, the tires can last up to 200,000 scans on the separation module
and 500,000 scans on the feed module. More difficult paper types,
challenging operating environments, less frequent cleaning or cleaning
the tires with alcohol or other strong solvents will cause reduced tire life.
Paper types such as carbon paper and newsprint are particularly
difficult and consistently making these documents a significant portion
of your workload will certainly shorten tire life. When you notice
degradation of feeder performance, multiple feeds, stoppages, etc., that
are not resolved by following the cleaning procedures described in this
chapter, you will need to change the tires.
NOTE: Tire life and performance will vary based on your unique
document set.
1. Remove the separation module.
2. Holding onto the separation module, rotate the release lever back
so you can access the separation roller.
