fi-5900C & fi-5950 CONSUMABLE REPLACEMENT AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING THE PINCH AND FEED ROLLERS
It is very important to clean the scanner pinch and feed rollers on a
regular basis to avoid paper feeding problems. These rollers should be
cleaned every 10,000 sheets. More frequent cleaning will be required
if scanning paper with a large amount of printing, documents filled
out in pencil, or carbonless multipart forms.

Roller Types
The fi-5900C and fi-5950
Scanners have nine sets of
Pinch and Feed Rollers with
two rollers on each shaft. The
Pinch Rollers are the upper set
of rollers (grey rollers in
drawing to the right). The Feed
Rollers are the lower set of
rollers (black rollers in the
drawing to the right).
NOTE!
• The fi-5900C Scanner can have either Rubber or Metal Feed Rollers
installed. It is very important to know what rollers are installed because
the fluids used to clean the different type of rollers is different.
• All fi-5950 Scanners have Rubber Feed Rollers installed.
Identifying Rubber Rollers
• Any fi-5900C Scanner, Serial Number 100001 and above has Rubber
Rollers installed.
• Any scanner that was upgraded to Rubber Rollers will have a
“Rubber Roller Label installed on the front of the scanner.
The table below lists the cleaners for each roller type.

dried completely before feeding paper.
