Cleaning the Document Glass

Keep the Document Glass clean to ensure clean 
copies and acceptable copy quality.

Clean the Document Glass at the beginning of the 
day and during the day, as needed.

1

Slightly dampen a clean lint-free cloth (Figure 2) 
with a small amount of Xerox or Xerox Europe 
Lens and Mirror Cleaner or a glass cleaner that is 
not abrasive, such as Windex or Glass Plus.

CAUTION:To avoid damage to the copier/printer, 
do not pour or spray the cleaner directly onto the 
Document Glass.

2

Clean the Document Glass by wiping the glass in 
the lengthwise direction, as illustrated in Figure 3. 
Keep your fingers off the glass.

3

Use a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe off any 
excess moisture.

4

Repeat these steps, as required, until the 
Document Glass has no visible marks or streaks.
