Cleaning the Printer
Cleaning the exterior of printer
●
Before you start to clean the machine, be sure to switch off and unplug the machine. Turn the
machine off when cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock.
●
Do not use benzene, paint thinner, or other volatile liquids or spray insect repellent on the machine
as doing so may discolor, deform, or crack covers.
1
Wipe the exterior with a firmly wrung
soft cloth moistened with water.
If it is difficult to remove dirt, try gently wiping with a
soft cloth moistened with a small amount of neutral
detergent.
Do not use cleaning agents other than water or neutral
detergent.
2
Wipe off any excess water from the exterior with a soft cloth.
Cleaning Raster Output Scanners
Normally, clean Raster Output Scanners after you have replaced the waste toner
container. Also, clean Raster Output Scanners when image-quality defects such
as white or color streaks appear during printing.
●
A cleaning rod is provided on the inside of the front cover.
●
Before you clean the Raster Output Scanners, remove the waste toner container. We recommend
laying paper on the floor beforehand because toner will be spilt if the waste toner container is
placed at an angle.
1
Make sure that the machine has stopped before opening the front
cover.
2
Open the black cover (B) at the front of
the machine by pulling the left and right
orange tabs downward.
