Copier lens cleaning
If white lines appear on copies in the direction of paper travel, make a reduction or enlargement
copy and check to see if the position of the white lines change on the copy paper.
If the lines appear in the same position, clean the copier lens using the following procedure.
When you open the front cover to clean the lens, be sure to finish cleaning
and close the front cover as soon as possible in order to minimize exposure of
the drum cartridge to external light.
1
Pull the paper tray out and take the lens cleaning tool out of the tray. Be careful not
to handle the brush portion of the tool.

way into the copier and then pull it back. Make sure that the positioning groove
follows the guide within the copier. Repeat this action 2 or 3 times.
