Differences between rollers

[Prestige3613]

do what works for you - but in certain environments the harder blue sep roller when used in ADF's does cause reliability issues. We change them out for reds when they come from the factory that way on the first complaint of adf pickup jamming / multifeeding. Every roller would be made as hard as rock and last forever if there were no consequences. Everything is a compromise between longevity and performance.

I've had fellow techs whinge when I've retrofitted the blue sep rollers to feed units of early machines - even though its officially allowed, again in certain environments it can increase issues.

Thank you, I appreciate your input.

We just scavenge clips. And the built in clips have broken on a couple of occasions, making it necessary to install a clip.

Yeah, that's what we're doing but we're running out of units to pull from. I found this one 56AA40490 but I'm not sure if it will work with all the models. Might just order a few to try them.

That's the number I found in the 4 series manual. I'd expect then to ship in packages of a dozen. =^..^=

If you don't always want to change out the feed and sep roller at the same time. I usually rotate the tires ( as long as the feed roller looks good). I will throw out the sep roller and replace it with the feed roller above and install a brand new feed roller. The sep roller seems to wear out really fast . I haven't had any issues doing it.
