The following describes how to clean the machine.
The cleaning instructions will be explained individually for various parts of the machine:
the machine exterior, document cover/document glass, film/constant velocity transport
glass, and document feeder roller.
Cleaning the Exterior
The following describes how to clean the exterior of the machine.
Important • Always switch the power off and unplug the power cord before cleaning any part of the
machine. Cleaning the machine with the power on may cause an electric shock.
• Do not use benzene, paint thinner, or other volatile liquids or spray insect repellent on the
machine as they might discolor, deform, or crack covers.
• Cleaning the machine with an excessive amount of water may cause the machine to
malfunction or damage documents during copying.
1 Wipe the exterior with a firmly
wrung soft cloth moistened with
water.
Important • Do not use cleaning agents
other than water or neutral
detergent.
Note • If dirt does not come off easily,
gently wipe it with a soft cloth
moistened with a small
amount of neutral detergent.
2 Wipe off any excess water with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Document Cover and Document Glass
If the document cover and document glass are dirty, streaks or smears may appear on
copies and the machine may not properly detect document sizes.
To ensure clean copies at all times, clean the document cover and the document roller
about once a month.
Important • Do not use benzene, paint thinner, or other organic solvents. Doing so might damage paint
or coating on plastic parts.
• Cleaning the machine with an excessive amount of water may cause the machine to
malfunction or damage documents during copying.
