ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE DOCUMENT GLASS AND RSPF/DOCUMENT COVER

If the document glass, underside of the document cover/RSPF, or the scanner for originals coming from the RSPF (the long narrow glass surface on the right side of the document glass) become dirty, the dirt may appear on copies. Always keep these parts clean.

Stains or dirt on the document glass/RSPF will also be copied. Wipe the document glass, underside of the document cover/RSPF and the scanning window on the document glass with a soft, clean cloth.

If necessary, dampen the cloth with water. Do not use thinner, benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents.

Warning

Do not spray flammable cleaner gas. Gas from the spray may come in contact with the internal electrical components or high-temperature parts of the fusing unit, creating a risk of fire or electrical shock.
