Clean the Machine's Printer Platen
WARNING
Be sure to unplug the machine from the AC power outlet before cleaning the printer platen to avoid an
electrical shock.
1. Place both hands under the plastic tabs on both sides of the machine to lift the scanner cover into the open
position.
2. Clean the machine's printer platen (1) and the area around it, wiping off scattered ink with a dry, soft lint-free
cloth.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT touch the encoder strip, the thin strip of plastic that stretches across the width of the machine
(2). Doing this will cause damage to the machine.
3. Gently close the scanner cover using both hands.
4. Reconnect the power cord.
