16 Maintenance
There will be times when the machine will require maintenance tasks to be carried out.
Information contained in this chapter will assist with these tasks.
Cleaning the Machine
Proper maintenance is important for the smooth operation of any equipment.
NOTE: When cleaning the machine, do not use organic or strong chemical solvents or
aerosol cleaners. Do not pour fluids directly onto any area. Avoid supplies that are not
specifically listed as approved in this documentation; they can cause poor
performance and create a dangerous situation. Use supplies and cleaning materials
only as directed in this documentation. Keep all cleaning materials out of the reach of
children.
NOTE: Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws. You cannot
maintain or service any of the parts that are behind these covers and guards. Do not
attempt any maintenance procedure that is not specifically described in the
documentation supplied with the machine.
The Document Glass and Constant Velocity Transport Glass
To ensure optimum print quality at all times, clean the document glass and constant
velocity transport glass monthly, or more often if needed. This helps avoid streaks,
smears and other marks on the printed output.
1. To clean the glass areas, use a
lint-free cloth, lightly moistened
with water.
2. Use a soft cloth moistened with
water to clean the white tabs,
located on the underside of the
document glass cover and in the
document feeder, to remove dry
ink smudges and other marks.
3. Wipe the wet surface with a dry, clean cloth.
The Control Panel and Touch Screen
Regular cleaning keeps the touch screen and control panel free from dust and dirt. To
remove finger prints and smudges, clean the control panel and touch screen with a soft,
lint-free cloth, slightly moistened with water.
NOTE: The machine should be switched off before cleaning the control panel to
prevent unintended operation.
