Your fax requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning
procedures for the fax. Please note the following before cleaning:
• Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the fax. Since documents in memory are
erased when the power is disconnected, print any documents stored in memory before
disconnecting the power cord (see p. 5-14).
• Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the
components or generate static charges.
c
Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to
clean the interior of the fax.

clean the print area of the fax periodically.

c
Do not touch the components or any metal parts.
3 Use a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove any ink or paper debris from the interior of the
fax (shaded area), especially around the four pinch rollers.
Dirt and dust particles that collect on the underside of the printer cover affect the quality of the
documents you copy or send.
