Cleaning Your Machine

This section describes the cleaning procedure that is needed to maintain your machine.
Caution
Be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord before cleaning the machine.
Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning. Paper tissue powders or fine
threads may remain inside the machine and cause problems such as a blocked Print Head and poor
printing results. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the components.
Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean
the machine; these can damage the machine's components.
Cleaning the Platen Glass and Document Cover
Moisten a clean, soft, lint-free cloth and wring out excess water. With it, wipe the Platen Glass
(A), the inner side of the Document Cover (white sheet) (B), and FAU lamp (C). Then wipe with
another clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth, making sure not to leave any residue, especially on the
Platen Glass.
Important
The sheet (B) is easily damaged, so wipe it gently.

Cleaning the Paper Feed Rollers (Roller Cleaning)
Clean the paper feed rollers if paper is not fed properly. Cleaning the paper feed rollers will wear
the rollers, so perform this only when necessary.
Note
Make sure that the Inner Cover is closed.
1
Make sure that the machine is turned on, and then remove any paper from the Auto
Sheet Feeder and Cassette.
