Routine Cleaning
If the original is not copied clearly, clean the following parts of the machine:
• Platen glass
• Underside of the feeder/platen cover
• Feeder scanning area and rollers
For high-quality printouts, we recommend that you clean these parts regularly.
WARNING
• When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, then
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 damage 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.
IMPORTANT
• Do not dampen the cloth too much, as excess water may damage the machine.
• Turning the main power OFF will erase all jobs in the machine’s memory.
Platen Glass and Cover
Clean the platen glass and the underside of the feeder/platen cover as described
below.
IMPORTANT
If the platen glass or the underside of the feeder/platen cover is dirty, the original may
not be scanned clearly, or the size of the original may be incorrectly detected.
