Caution!

♦Do not use benzene or thinner. Avoid touching the print head with hard objects.

♦The print head may be hot if your fax machine has just received a large number of documents. If this is the case, allow the print head to cool prior to cleaning.

Scanning glass and rollers

Clean the scanning glass and rollers frequently to ensure the quality of transmitted images and copies. Open the operation panel by pulling the front edge up (grasp it at the PANEL RELEASE mark), and clean the scanning glass and rollers as shown below.

♦Wipe the scanning glass, white backplate, and rollers with a soft cloth or a cotton pad.

♦Make sure that all dirt and stains (such as correcting fluid) are removed, as these will cause vertical lines on transmitted images and copies.
