7. Cleaning the Printer
This chapter explains how to clean this printer.
Cautions to Take When Cleaning
• Do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this manual. Some parts
of the machine are at a high voltage and could give you an electric shock. Also, if the machine
has laser systems, direct (or indirect) reflected eye contact with the laser beam may cause
serious eye damage. When the machine needs to be checked, adjusted, or repaired, contact
your service representative.
• Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There is a risk of fire, electric
shock, explosion or loss of sight. If the machine has laser systems, there is a risk of serious
eye damage.
• When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing unit because it could be very hot.
• Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around
the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.
Clean the printer periodically to maintain fine printing.
Dry wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. If dry wiping is not enough, wipe with a soft, wet cloth that is wrung
out well. If you still cannot remove the stain or grime, use a neutral detergent, and then wipe over with a
well-wrung wet cloth, dry wipe, and let it dry.
• To avoid deformation, discoloration, or cracking, do not use volatile chemicals, such as benzine and
thinner, or spray insecticide on the printer.
• If there is dust or grime inside the printer, wipe with a clean, dry cloth.
