General information
In order to maintain your machine in good working order,
it is recommended to periodically clean the inside.
Normal use of the machine, requires the following rules to
be respected:
• When cleaning the inside of the printer or removing
jams, be careful not to touch the fuser unit or other hot
parts.
• To clean the printer, use a soft cloth.
• Never spray detergent directly onto the printer as it
may infiltrate the vents and damage internal circuits.
• To clean the machine, avoid using abrasive or corro-
sive solvents or products containing solvents (alcohol
or benzene).
• Always start by applying the cleaning product (mild de-
tergent) to a small surface of the printer to check the
result.
• Never use abrasive or rough cloths (steel wool or plas-
tic).
• Never leave the scanner cover open unnecessarily.
• Never try to lubricate the machine.
• Close the scanner cover gently and never subject the
machine to vibrations.
• Never open the cartridge access cover during printing.
• Never try to dismantle the machine.
• Never use paper which has remained too long in the
paper tray.
Cleaning
The presence of dust, dirt and paper debris on the
external surfaces and inside the printer may hinder its
operation. We recommend you clean it regularly.
Cleaning the outside of the printer
Clean the outside of the printer using a soft cloth soaked
in mild household detergent.
Use a soft cloth to clean the printer. Never use
abrasives or corrosive detergents.
Cleaning the inside of the printer
After removing a paper jam or replacing a toner cartridge,
inspect the inside of the machine before closing the
access flap to the toner cartridge.
1
Press the On/Off button to switch off the machine
(position 0) and disconnect the mains power cable.
2
Press the toner cartridge access button.
3
Lift up the flatbed scanner and open the access flap
to the toner cartridge.
Caution
For your safety, you must read the safety in-
structions in the chapter safety [
121].
WARNING
Firstly, disconnect the power cable and all
interface cables. Ensure that no water or
detergent enters the printer, or it may be da-
maged or cause electrocution.
Caution
The fuser unit is extremely hot. If you open
the access cover to the fuser unit, it takes
about one hour to cool down.
WARNING
The fuser unit may reach very high tempe-
ratures during operation. To avoid injury, do
not touch this zone.
