Routine Maintenance

You can keep your MFC in optimum condition by cleaning it on a regular basis. It is a good idea to clean the drum unit during this routine. Avoid using thinners or other organic solvents to clean the MFC and do not use water.

Cleaning the Document Scanner

1Unplug the telephone line, and then unplug the power cord.

When you reconnect these lines later, connect the power cord before you connect the telephone line.

2Open the Control Panel cover.

3Wipe dirt off the MFC using a slightly damp clean cloth.

4Clean the white bar and the glass cover.

Moisten a small piece of clean soft, lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol and carefully remove dirt from the glass cover and the white bar of the scanner.
