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/platen cover
• Feeder's roller
WARNING
• When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, 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.
Platen Glass and Cover
Clean the platen glass and the underside of the optional platen cover by following the procedure
below.
IMPORTANT
• If the platen glass or the underside of the optional platen cover is dirty, the original may not be scanned
clearly, or the size of the original may be detected incorrectly.
• This procedure is necessary only when the optional Color Image Reader-C1 and Platen Cover Type G
are attached.
