Cleaning Document Feeder Rollers
If the document feeder rollers become soiled, smudges may appear on copies, or scanned
documents and paper jams may occur.
To ensure clean copies at all times, clean the document feeder rollers about once a month.
Important • Do not use benzene, paint thinner, or other organic solvents. Doing so may 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 or scanning.

1 Lift the latch of the document feeder top cover
until it is completely open.
Note • When you fully open the cover, it enters a fixed
position. Open the cover gently.
2 While turning the rollers, wipe them with a soft
cloth moistened with water.
Important • Do not use cleaning agents other than water or
neutral detergent.
• Use a cloth firmly wrung to prevent water drops
from falling into the machine. If water gets into
the machine, it may cause the machine to
malfunction.
Note • If you cannot remove dirt easily, gently wipe
the rollers with a soft cloth moistened with a
small amount of neutral detergent.
3 Close the document feeder top cover until it clicks into place, and confirm that there is no
space between the near or far side of the cover and the document feeder.
