Regular Maintenance
You can keep the machine in optimum condition by cleaning it on a regular basis. It is a good idea
to clean the drum unit during this routine. Avoid using thinners or other organic solvents to clean the
machine and do not use water.
Cleaning the Scanner
1
Unplug the telephone line and then the power cord.
When you reconnect these lines later, make sure to connect the power cord first, then the
telephone line.
2
Open the document tray, and then the control panel.
3
Wipe dirt off the machine using a slightly damp clean cloth.
4
Clean the white bar and the glass cover.
Moisten a small piece of clean soft, lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol and carefully remove
dirt from the glass cover and the white bar of the scanner.
Cleaning the Printer
• Do not use isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt from the control panel. It may
cause a crack on the panel.
• Do not use isopropyl alcohol to clean the scanner window or the toner
sensor.
• Do not touch the scanner window with your finger.
• Handle the drum unit carefully as it contains toner. If toner scatters and
your hands or clothes get dirty, immediately wipe or wash it off with cold
water.
