Cleaning the Scanner Components

1. Disconnect the power cord from the machine.
   
   
   
2. Use hands to gently open the operation panel (it only opens partially).
   
   
   
3. 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.
   
   
   
4. 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.
   
   
   
   
5. 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).
   
   
   
6. 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.
     
     
7. Reconnect the power cord.
