40 Routine Maintenance
Cleaning Your Machine
This section describes the cleaning procedure that is needed to maintain your machine.
Cleaning the Exterior of the Machine
Be sure to use a soft cloth such as eyeglasses cleaning cloth and wipe off dirt on the surface
with it gently. Smooth out wrinkles on the cloth if necessary before cleaning.
Cleaning the Platen Glass and Document Cover
With a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, wipe the Platen Glass (A) and the inner side of the Document
Cover (white sheet) (B) gently. Make sure not to leave any residue, especially on the Platen
Glass.
Caution
z Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning. Paper tissue powders or fine
threads may remain inside the machine and cause problems such as a blocked Print Head and poor
printing results. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the components.
z Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean
the machine, as this may cause a malfunction or damage the machine’s surface.
Caution
Be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord before cleaning the machine.
Important
z When cleaning the exterior of the machine, do not use tissue paper, rough-textured cloth, or
similar materials, as this may scratch the surface.

chemical cleaner, as this may damage the surface.
