MAINTENANCE
This section explains how to clean the machine and replace the toner cartridges and the waste toner box.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

To ensure that the machine continues to provide top quality performance, periodically clean the machine.
Warning
Do not use a flammable spray to clean the machine. If gas from the spray comes in contact with hot electrical
components or the fusing unit inside the machine, fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not use thinner, benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents to clean the machine. These may degrade or discolour the
housing.
• Use a soft cloth to gently wipe off dirt from the area on the operation panel with a
mirror-like finish (shown at right). If you use a stiff cloth or rub hard, the surface
may be damaged.
CLEANING THE DOCUMENT GLASS AND AUTOMATIC
DOCUMENT FEEDER
If the document glass or document backplate sheet becomes dirty, the dirt will appear as dirty spots, coloured lines, or
white lines in the scanned image. Always keep these parts clean.
Wipe the parts with a clean, soft cloth.
If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or a small amount of neutral detergent. After wiping with the moistened cloth,
wipe the parts dry with a clean dry cloth.
Document glass
Scanning area
If coloured lines or white lines appear in images scanned
using the automatic document feeder, clean the scanning
area (the thin long glass next to the document glass).
To clean this area, use the glass cleaner that is stored in
the automatic document feeder. After using the glass
cleaner, be sure to return it to its storage position.
