Routine maintenance

Cleaning the print head

Clean the print head when you want to improve the print quality and
also as part of your routine maintenance.

Before you clean inside the fax machine, unplug the
telephone line cord first, and then the power cord from the AC
power outlet.

Open the top cover by lifting the lever on the right side of the
top cover.

Take out the print cartridge.

To clean your fax machine’s print head, wipe the print head
with a lint-free cloth that is dry or lightly moistened with
isopropyl alcohol.

Wait until the alcohol on the print head is completely dry.

Install the print cartridge. (See

Changing the ribbon

on page

12-9.)

Close the top cover. Press down on both sides of the top
cover until it clicks.

Plug in the telephone line cord back in first and then plug the
power cord back into the AC power outlet.

After you have just used the fax machine, some internal parts
of the fax machine are extremely

HOT!

So please be careful.
