Cleaning the Inside of the Machine (Bottom Plate Cleaning)

This section describes how to clean the inside of the machine. If the inside of the machine
becomes dirty, printed paper may get dirty, so we recommend performing cleaning regularly.
Important
Do not perform any other operation while the bottom plate is being cleaned.

Make sure that the machine is turned on, and then remove any paper from the
Rear Tray.

its front side.

Fold a single sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in half widthwise, and then
unfold the paper.

inside the machine may be stained. Clean them according to instructions. See
