How to install Xerox VisionAid VA-ADF/742 Maintenance Kit

Preparing for installation

Power down the machine, unplug the power cord, and open the VisionAid ADF cover to access the document path. Clear any immediate obstructions and ensure your workspace is clean. Have the maintenance kit ready along with any listed tools or guides included in the packaging. For safety, handle each component with care to avoid contact with rollers and sensor surfaces.

Remove old components

Gently release or detach the existing feed rollers, separation pads, and pick rollers from the ADF assembly. Take note of how each piece is seated so you can mirror that arrangement with the new parts. If your model uses adhesive-backed pads, carefully peel away the old pads without leaving residue on the surface. Use the provided cleaning swabs to wipe down the roller housings and sensor areas to ensure optimal seating of the new parts.

Install new rollers and pads

Install the new feed rollers first, aligning them with the mating surfaces and seating them firmly. Replace the separation pads in their grooves, ensuring they sit flush and evenly. Insert the new pick rollers into their respective slots, applying light, even pressure to achieve secure placement. Re-scan the surrounding surfaces to confirm there are no gaps or misalignments that could cause future jams. If lubricant is included in your kit, apply a very light, manufacturer-approved coat to the specified contact points and allow it to settle before reassembly.

Reassemble and test

With all components in place, reassemble the ADF cover, reattach any connectors or guides, and plug the machine back in. Run a few test sheets—preferably blank pages first—to verify smooth feeding, correct alignment, and clean scanning. Listen for unusual grinding sounds or abrupt stops, and inspect the output for consistent inclusion of pages in the exact order. If any issue persists, review the installation steps or consult the included troubleshooting guide for model-specific tips.

Maintenance follow-up

After installation, establish a routine maintenance schedule aligned with your office’s throughput. Depending on usage, periodic replacement of the kit’s rollers and pads can help maintain peak performance, reduce downtime, and prolong the life of your VisionAid VA-ADF/742. For best results, incorporate routine cleaning of accessible paths and sensor areas, and keep original calibration settings intact during installation unless otherwise directed by Xerox documentation.
