Maintenance
This chapter explains how to clean the machine, replace the toner cartridge, and repack and transport the machine.

Periodic Cleaning

Your machine requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning
procedures for your machine.
CAUTION
•
When cleaning the machine's exterior or the platen glass, be sure to disconnect the power cord before
cleaning the machine.
•
For the MF5750/MF5770 models, print any received faxes stored in the memory before disconnecting
the power cord, since the documents in the memory are backed up only for about 3 minutes.
•
Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the
components or generate static charges.
Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the components.
•
Never use volatile liquids such as thinner, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean the
interior of the machine; these can damage the machine's components.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the machine's exterior with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted
dishwashing detergent solution.

Cleaning the Scanning Area

Wipe the scanning area (shaded area) with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water, then wipe
with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
