SOLUTIONS TO COMMON PROBLEMS
Periodic cleaning
Your fax requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for
the fax. Please note the following before cleaning:
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the fax. Since documents in memory are erased when
the power is disconnected, print any documents stored in memory before disconnecting the power cord
(see p. 5-14).
Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the components
or generate static charges.

the interior of the fax.
