Caring for your machine

With proper installation and a little maintenance, your machine should give you dependable service for years to come.

Although it requires little day-to-day care, you can take these simple precautions to keep it in top form:

•Always make sure your machine is installed according to our specifications, including using an electrical surge suppressor.

•Always use good, copier-quality paper.

•Always clean your machine as needed (see “Cleaning tips,” below).

•Never install your machine where it can overheat, gather dust or get splashed by any liquids (even water).

Some things to keep in mind about cleaning your machine:

•Do clean it! Dust and dirt, especially around the machine’s air vents can shorten your machine’s life.

•Always unplug the machine before you clean it.

•Never spray any cleaner DIRECTLY onto your machine. The drifting spray could damage components inside.

•Never try to clean SEALED areas inside your machine. They’re sealed to pro- tect your safety and the machine.

•For cleaning external surfaces, such as the cover and handset: use a mild clean- ing solution sprayed onto a lint-free towel or cloth.

•Always use a lint-free cloth (or swabs) moistened with water to gently wipe com- ponents inside your machine.

•In areas you can’t reach with swabs, always use dry, dust-free compressed air to gently blow away dust and other material.

Here are some simple cleaning procedures for keeping your machine operating smoothly. Use each as the need arises.

If you’re having trouble with getting your original documents to feed properly, try this procedure:

1	Turn off your machine.
2	Get two soft, lint-free cloths and moisten them as follows:
	• One with a cleaner suitable for use on platen/rubber rollers. In steps 4 and
	6, we’ll call this the rollers cleaner.
	• The other with water
3	Open the ADF cover by holding the ADF
	cover release.
4	Use the cloth with the rollers cleaner
	to clean the face of the rollers. Rotate

the rollers by hand to allow cleaning of the entire roller surface.
