CLEANING THE DOCUMENT GLASS/SPF/RSPF AND DOCUMENT COVER

Stains or dirt on the document glass/SPF/RSPF will also be copied. Wipe the document glass, document cover portion of the SPF/RSPF and the scanning window on the document glass with a soft, clean cloth.

If necessary, dampen the cloth with water. Do not use thinner, benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents.

Warning

Do not use flammable spray to clean the machine. Gas from the spray may come in contact with the internal electrical components or high-temperature parts of the fusing unit, creating a risk of fire or electrical shock.
