Cleaning the Machine
If the original is not copied clearly, clean the machine. For high-quality printouts, we recommend cleaning the machine once or twice a month.
Note the following before cleaning your machine:
- Make sure no documents are stored in memory when you turn OFF the main power switch and disconnect the power cord.
- 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.
note:
- Never use volatile liquids such as thinner, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean the machine. These can damage the machine components.
- You cannot send or receive documents when the main power switch is turned off or the power cord is disconnected.
- If the main power switch is turned OFF, all jobs waiting in the print queue will be erased.
- Documents received into memory and documents stored for delayed send will be retained for approximately 60 minutes after the power cord has been disconnected.
Exterior
Clean the exterior of the machine.
1. Turn OFF the main power switch and disconnect the power cord.
2. Wipe the machine's exterior with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.
3. Wait for the machine to dry, then reconnect the power cord and turn ON the main power switch.
Fixing Unit
If black streaks appear on printed output, the fixing unit may be dirty. Also, you should use the Fixing Unit Cleaning procedure every time the toner cartridge is replaced. Print the cleaning pattern on LTR paper for cleaning the fixing unit.
note:
- As cleaning paper, LTR or A4 paper must be loaded in the paper drawer or the stack bypass tray.
- Cleaning the fixing unit takes approximately 60 seconds.
- When some jobs are stored in memory, this function is not available.
