Cleaning your machine
This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for your machine.
CAUTION
• Be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord before cleaning the machine.
• Print any documents stored in memory before disconnecting the power cord, since
documents in memory are erased when the power is disconnected (
p. 8-8).
• 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 thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to
clean the interior of the machine; these can damage the machine’s components.

quality, clean the machine’s print area periodically.

transparent sheet C with a clean, soft, lint-free
cloth moistened with water. Then wipe with a clean,
soft, dry, lint-free cloth making sure there are no
residues left, especially on the platen glass.
