Routine Cleaning
If the original is not copied clearly, clean the following parts of the machine. For
high-quality printouts, we recommend that you clean these parts once or twice a
month.
•
Platen glass
• Underside of the feeder/platen cover
•
Feeder scanning area
• White plate, roller
WARNING
•
Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents for cleaning, as
this may result in plastic parts becoming deformed.
•
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.
CAUTION
Do not dampen the cloth too much, as excess water may break the machine.
IMPORTANT
If the main power switch is turned OFF, all jobs waiting in the print queue will be erased.
