Routine Cleaning
If the original is not copied clearly, clean the following
parts of the machine. For high-quality printouts, we
recommend cleaning these parts once or twice a
month.
●
Platen glass
●
Underside of the feeder
●
Wires
●
Drums
If the touch panel display becomes dirty and the screen
may not be seen clearly, clean the touch panel display.
Since the touch panel display becomes dirty from
normal use, we recommend that you clean it once a
week or every 10 days.
•
When cleaning the machine, fi rst turn OFF the
main power switch, and disconnect the power cord.
Failure to observe these steps may result in a fi re or
electrical shock.
•
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet
regularly, and clean the area around the base of
the power plug's metal pins and the power outlet
with a dry cloth to ensure that all dust and grime is
removed. If the power cord is connected for a long
period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location,
dust can build up around the power plug and
become damp. This may cause a short circuit and
result in a fi re.
IMPORTANT
•
When cleaning with a cloth, do not dampen it too
much, as this may damage the original or break the
machine.
•
Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other
solvents for cleaning. Doing so may result in damage to
the plastic parts.
NOTE
The Duplex Color Image Reader Unit-G1 is an optional
product.
