Cleaning the Machine
Exterior
Interior
Scanning Area
Note the following before cleaning your machine:
| - |
Make sure no document is stored in memory, then 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. |
Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean the machine. These can damage the machine components.
- Disconnect the power cord.
- Wipe the machine's exterior with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.
- Wait for the machine to dry, then reconnect the power cord.

-
Remove the toner cartridge.

| - |
To avoid exposing the toner cartridge to light, place it in its protective bag or wrap it in a thick cloth. |
| - |
Do not open the drum protective shutter on the toner cartridge. Print quality may deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged. |
-
Use a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove any toner or paper debris from the machine's interior.

Do not touch the fixing assembly (A) as it becomes very hot during use. |
| - |
Do not touch the transfer roller (B) as this can damage the machine.

If loose toner comes into contact with your skin or clothing, wash with cold water. Warm water will set the toner. |
- Insert the toner cartridge into the machine as far as it will go.
Hold the toner cartridge and align the protusions (A) on sides of the toner cartridge to the guides (B) in the machine, then gently slide the toner cartridge into the machine as far as it will go.
Be sure to position the arrow mark (C) on the toner cartridge towards the inside of the machine.
- Close the front cover.
Be careful not to get your fingers caught.
- Reconnect the power cord.
