Periodic cleaning

Your fax requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for the fax. Please note the following before cleaning:

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the fax. Since documents in memory are erased when the power is disconnected, print any documents stored in memory before disconnecting the power cord (see p. 4-14).

Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the components or generate static charges.

Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to c clean the interior of the fax.

Cleaning the exterior of the fax ______________

1Disconnect the power cord from the fax.

2Wipe the exterior of the fax with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.

3When you are finished, reconnect the power cord.

Cleaning inside the printer cover

To prevent ink spots and paper dust from accumulating inside the fax and affecting print quality, clean the print area of the fax periodically.
