Your machine requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for
your machine.
• When cleaning the machine’s exterior or the platen glass, be sure to disconnect the power cord
before cleaning the machine.
• For the model with the fax function, print any received faxes stored in memory before
disconnecting the power cord, since documents in memory are backed up only for about 1 hour
when the power cord is disconnected.

• 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 thinner, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean
the interior of the machine; these can damage the machine’s components.
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the machine’s exterior with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing
detergent solution.
Cleaning the Scanning Area
Wipe the scanning area (shaded area) with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water, then wipe with a
