Use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off of the case. The
exterior of the printer does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away from the interior of
the printer, as well as from the printer control panel.
Clean the automatic document feeder (ADF)
If the automatic document feeder picks up multiple pages or if it does not pick up plain
paper, you can clean the rollers and separator pad. Lift the automatic document feeder
cover to access the pick assembly inside the automatic document feeder, clean the
rollers or separator pad, and then close the cover.
If you have lines or dust appearing on scanned documents or faxes, clean the plastic
strip in the ADF.
To clean the rollers or separator pad
1. Remove all originals from the document feeder tray.
2. Lift the automatic document feeder cover (1).
This provides easy access to the rollers (2) and separator pad (3).

NOTE: If the residue does not come off using distilled water, try using
isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.
5. Close the cover of the automatic document feeder.
