5.3.2Cleaning the ADF
Clean the ADF once every 5,000 pages. The cycle depends on the types of documents used (page quality, a level of toner fusing on paper).
1Pull the ADF lever up to open the ADF.
2Use the dry cloth or a cloth with ethyl alcohol to softly remove dirt and dust as follows.
Pad: | Wipe the pad in a downward direction (indi- |
| cated by the arrow). Be careful not to hook |
| the pick spring when wiping. |
Glass: | Wipe the glass lightly. See Section 5.4, |
| “Replacing the Lamp Unit” to clean the |
bottom of the glass.
Pick rollers (two): Wipe the rollers softly. Be careful not to damage the surface of the rollers. If the toner adheres to the roller, it may affect the paper feed performance. Clean the rollers well.
Feed roller and coupled feed roller:
Wipe the rollers softly. Be careful not to damage the surface of the rollers. If the toner adheres to the roller, it may affect the paper feed performance. Clean the rollers well. For details of the coupled feed roller, see Section 5.3.3.
Ejection roller and coupled ejection roller:
Wipe the rollers softly. Be careful not to damage the surface of the rollers. If the toner adheres to the roller, it may affect the paper feed performance. Clean the rollers well.
