Replacing the Pick Roller Assembly
Replace the consumable (pick roller assembly) of the ScanSnap when the replacement cycle is reached.
The suggested replacement cycle is as follows:
Every 100,000 sheets scanned
Every one year of use
Replace the consumable when either the number of sheets scanned or the period of use reaches the suggested replacement cycle.
Before replacing consumables, you must turn off the ScanSnap and unplug the power connection cable (power cable or USB bus power cable) from the power supply source (AC outlet or computer). Not doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not place internal parts such as the pad assy and the pick roller assembly within reach of small children. Doing so may cause injury.
The bottom part of the ScanSnap may become hot when the ScanSnap is being used, but this does not affect ScanSnap operation or cause any physical harm. Be careful not to drop the ScanSnap when carrying it.
