12-2 Maintenance Chapter 12
Periodic Cleaning
This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for your unit. Please note
the following before cleaning your unit:
• Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the unit. Since documents in
memory are erased when the power is disconnected, print or send any documents
stored in memory before disconnecting the power cord (1 p. 9-4).
• Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick
to the components or generate static charges.
c
Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical
cleaner to clean the interior of the unit; these can damage the unit’s components.
Cleaning the Unit’s Exterior
Follow this procedure to clean the unit’s outer casing:
1 Disconnect the power cord from the
unit.
2 Wipe the unit’s exterior with a clean,
soft, lint-free cloth moistened with
water or diluted dishwashing detergent
solution.
3 When you are finished, reconnect the
power cord.
Cleaning the Unit’s Interior
To prevent toner powder and paper dust from accumulating inside the unit and affecting
print quality, clean the unit’s print area periodically.
Follow this procedure to clean inside the unit:
1 Disconnect the power cord from the unit.
2 Lift the latch and open the front cover.
c
Do not open the front cover
without lifting the latch since this
may damage your unit.
