Routine Cleaning

If the original is not copied clearly, clean the following parts of the machine. For high-quality printouts, we recommend cleaning these parts once or twice a month.

Feeder scanning area

White plate, roller

WARNING

When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch and disconnect the power cord. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.

Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents for cleaning, as this may result in plastic parts becoming deformed.

CAUTION

Unplug the power plug from the outlet at least once a year, and clean the plug’s metal pins and the area surrounding them to ensure all dust is removed. If dust accumulates in this area, it may result in a fire.

Do not dampen the cloth too much, as this may damage the original or damage the machine.

Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of the power plug’s metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
