Routine Cleaning
If the original is not copied clearly, clean the following parts of the machine. For high-quality
printouts, we recommend cleaning these parts once or twice a month.
•
Platen glass
•
Original feeding belt /underside of the feeder
•
Touch Panel Display
•
Feeder
WARNING
•
When cleaning the machine, first turn the main power OFF, and disconnect the power cord.
Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•
Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents for cleaning. Doing so may
result in damage to the plastic parts.
•
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the
base of the power plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all
dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of time in a damp,
dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. This
may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
Platen Glass and Original Feeding Belt/Underside of the
Feeder
Clean the platen glass and the original feeding belt/underside of the feeder by following the
procedure below.
IMPORTANT
If the platen glass or the original feeding belt/underside of the feeder is dirty, the original may not be
scanned clearly, or the size of the original may be detected incorrectly.
NOTE
Cleaning the original feeding belt is necessary only if the platen cover is attached.
