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
Feeder and the underside of the feeder
Feeder’s rollers
When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, 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 Cover
Clean the platen glass and the underside of platen cover by following the procedure below.
If the platen glass or the underside of the platen cover is dirty, the original may not be scanned clearly, or the size of the original may be
detected incorrectly.
This procedure is necessary only if the Color Image Reader Unit-B2 is attached.

Clean the platen glass and the underside of the platen cover with a cloth dampened with water, and
then wipe them clean with a soft, dry cloth .
Do not dampen the cloth too much, as this may damage the original or break the machine .
