WARNINGIf 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.
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 (optional)
Feeder/Underside of the Feeder (optional)
Feeder’s rollers (optional)

WARNING |
|
When cleaning the machine, first turn the main power OFF, and disconnect the power cord. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents for cleaning. Doing so may result in damage to the plastic parts.
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 fire.
