Cleaning Your Machine

This section describes the cleaning procedure that is needed to maintain your machine.

Caution

zBe sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord before cleaning the machine.

zDo not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning. Paper tissue powders or fine threads may remain inside the machine and cause problems such as a blocked Print Head and poor printing results. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the components.

zNever use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean the machine; these can damage the machine’s components.

„Cleaning the Platen Glass and Document Cover

Moisten a clean, soft, lint-free cloth and wring out excess water. With it, wipe the Platen Glass (A), the inner side of the Document Cover (white sheet) (B), and FAU lamp (C). Then wipe with another clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth, making sure not to leave any residue, especially on the Platen Glass.

Important

The sheet (B) is easily damaged, so wipe it gently.
