Cleaning the Printer

Cleaning the exterior of the printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, clean it thoroughly several times a year by using the following instructions.
Never use alcohol or thinner to clean the printer. These chemicals can damage the printer.
Use a soft, dry, clean cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not use liquid or chemical cleaners.
Use a soft, dry, clean cloth to clean the glass surface of the document glass. If the glass surface is stained with grease or some other hard-to-remove material, use a small amount of glass cleaner and a soft cloth to remove it. Wipe off all remaining liquid.
Open the ADF cover and use a soft, dry, clean cloth to clean the roller and the interior of the ADF.
Do not press the glass surface of the document glass with any force.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface of the document glass, and do not use a hard or abrasive brush to clean it. A damaged glass surface can decrease the scan quality.
Note:
Close the ADF input tray when you are not using the printer to protect the printer from dust.

Cleaning the interior of the printer

To keep your printouts at their best, clean the roller inside by using the following procedure.
Warning:
Be careful not touch the parts inside the printer.
Caution:
Be careful to keep water away from the electronic components.
Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants.
Unsuitable oils can damage the mechanism. Contact your dealer or a qualified service person if lubrication is needed.
Load several sheets of A4-size plain paper.
Press the Copy/Fax button on the printer to enter the Copy mode.
Press the [Color] or [B&W] button to make a copy without placing a document on the document glass.
Repeat step 3 until the paper is not smeared with ink.
