Cleaning the FAX’s Interior

To prevent toner powder and paper dust from accumulating inside the FAX and affecting print quality, clean the unit’s print area periodically.

Follow this procedure to clean inside the FAX:

1Disconnect the power cord from the FAX.

2Lift the latch and open the front cover.

cDo not open the front cover without lifting the latch since this may damage your unit.

3Hold the toner cartridge by its handle and remove it from the FAX.

To avoid exposing the toner cartridge to light, place it in its protective bag or wrap it in a thick cloth.

4Use a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove any toner or paper debris from the unit’s interior (shaded area in the

illustration).

c• The fixing assembly becomes extremely hot when the unit is in use. Be very careful not to touch it so as to avoid injury.

Be careful not to touch the black transfer charging roller since this adversely affects print quality.
