6.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Although this printer requires no specific maintenance on a regular basis, it is recommended that you clean
the printer thoroughly whenever you get a chance. You can clean:
Outer case
Use a soft, clean cloth, dampened with mild detergent, if necessary.
Auto sheet feeder
If the inside of the auto sheet feeder is dirty (dusty), carefully brush away all dust and dirt using a soft
brush. If the sheet feeder's pickup roller is dirty, clean its surface with a soft, clean cloth.
Inside the printer
If you notice any dust or dirt has accumulated inside the printer when you open the outer case for repair,
remove it using a small vacuum cleaner designed for such purposes.
Never use paint thinner, trichloroethylene, or ketone-based solvents for cleaning. These
chemicals can damage the components of the printer.
Do not use a hard or abrasive brush for cleaning.
Be careful not to damage printer components when using a vacuum cleaner.
A lithium battery is installed on the C172 MAIN board of this printer. Be sure to observe
the following instructions when servicing the printer or storing the after-service parts:
1.Keep the battery away from any metal or other batteries so that electrodes of opposite
polarities do not come in contact with each other.
2.Do not heat the battery or place it near fire.
3.Do not solder on any part of the battery. (Doing so may result in leakage of electrolyte
from the battery, burning, explosion. The leakage may damage devices close to the
battery.)
4.Do not charge the battery. (An explosive gas may be generated inside the battery, and
cause burning or explosion.)
5.Do not dismantle the battery. (The gas inside the battery may hurt your throat. Leakage,
burning, or explosion may also result.)
6.Do not install the battery in the wrong direction. (This may cause burning or explosion.)
