Cleaning the scanner components
Solution
Cleaning the Scanner Components
- Disconnect the power cord from the machine.
- Use hands to gently open the operation panel (it only opens partially).
-
While holding the operation panel open, clean these components:
|
Separation guide and separation roller: |
|
Wipe with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth. |
|
White sheet and scanning glass: |
|
Wipe with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water, then wipe with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth. |
- If the scanner components are dirty, the documents you send or copy will also be dirty.
- Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the components.
- Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the components or generate static charges.
-
Clean the underside of the operation panel (shaded area in the illustration).
- Dirt and dust particles that collect on the underside of the operation panel affect the quality of the documents you copy or send.
- Use a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe any paper dust from the areas surrounding the separation roller (shaded area in the illustration).
-
When you are finished, close the operation panel by pressing it down from the center.
- Be sure to close the operation panel until it locks into place, or the machine will not function properly.
- Reconnect the power cord.
