Maintenance and
Troubleshooting
Clean the following parts once a week or whenever copies appear dirty.
WARNING:
●
When cleaning the copier, first turn OFF the power switch and unplug the power plug. Failure to
observe these items may result in fire or electrical shock.
CAUTION:
●
Clean the copier using a firmly wrung-out cloth dampened with a mild cleansing detergent. Do
not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner or other inflammable substances. If inflammable
substances come into contact with a high-voltage area inside the copier, this may result in fire or
electrical shock.
●
Unplug the power plug from the outlet at least once a year, and clean the area around the base of
the plug's metal pins to ensure all dust is removed. If dust accumulates in this area, it may result
in a fire.
