Periodic Cleaning

Your machine requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for
your machine.
• When cleaning the machine's exterior or the platen glass, be sure to disconnect the power cord
CAUTION
before cleaning the machine.
• For the model with the fax function, print any received faxes stored in memory before
disconnecting the power cord, since documents in memory are backed up only for about two
hours when the power cord is disconnected. (→ Fax Guide)
• Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the
components or generate static charges.
Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the components.
• Never use volatile liquids such as thinner, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean
the interior of the machine; these can damage the machine's components.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the machine's exterior with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing
detergent solution.

Cleaning the Scanning Area

Wipe the scanning area (shaded area) with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water, then wipe with a
clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
