Cleaning Your Machine

This section describes the cleaning procedure that is needed to maintain your machine.
Caution
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, as this may cause a malfunction or damage the machine's surface.
Cleaning the Exterior of the Machine
Caution
Be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord before cleaning the machine.
Important
When cleaning the exterior of the machine, do not use tissue paper, rough-textured cloth, or
similar materials, as this may scratch the surface.
Never use neutral detergent or volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other
chemical cleaner, as this may damage the surface.
Be sure to use a soft cloth such as eyeglasses cleaning cloth and wipe off dirt on the surface
with it gently. Smooth out wrinkles on the cloth if necessary before cleaning.
Cleaning the Platen Glass and Document Cover
Caution
Be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord before cleaning the machine.
Important
The inner side of the Document Cover (white sheet) (C) is easily damaged, so wipe it gently.
If the glass of the ADF (A) is stained with ink, correction fluid, or the like, black streaks may
appear on the printed paper when the document is loaded in the ADF. With a clean, soft, lint-
free cloth, wipe the glass of the ADF.
With a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, wipe the Platen Glass (D), the inner side of the Document
Cover (white sheet) (C), the glass of the ADF (A), and the inner side of the ADF (white area) (B)
