Cleaning the Machine
Note the following before cleaning your machine:
Make sure no documents are stored in memory, then turn off the main power switch and
disconnect the power cord.
Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the components.
Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to
the components or generate static charges.
Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean the machine. These can
damage the machine components.
When you turn off the main power switch, the documents stored in memory will be erased. To check the jobs stored in memory,
see the following:
Checking/Changing the Status of Fax Documents in Memory on p. 5-45.
Checking and Canceling Print Jobs on p. 6-11.
