CAUTION:
While drum unit and scanner window cleaning basically can be implemented by the end user,
the electrical terminals inside the machine and on the drum unit should be cleaned by a
service technician. Instruct the users not to touch those terminals.
WARNING
There are high voltage electrodes inside the machine. Before cleaning the machine,
make sure that the power switch has been turned off and the power cord has been
unplugged from the power outlet.
3.1 Cleaning the Machine Exterior
Clean the machine exterior to keep the machine clean.
1) Turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord.
2) Wipe dirt and dust away from the machine exterior with a damp cloth and allow the
machine to dry completely before turning the power on again.
3) Plug in the power cord.
!
CAUTION:
•
Use water or neutral detergents for cleaning. Cleaning with volatile liquids such as thinner
or benzene will damage the surface of the machine.

the toner cartridge.
