Cleaning the ADF (Auto Document Feeder)

Be sure to use a soft, clean, lint-free and dry cloth to clean the ADF (Auto Document Feeder).

Important

  • Before cleaning the printer, turn it off and unplug it.

    • The power cannot be turned off while the printer is sending or receiving a fax, or when unsent faxes are stored in the printer's memory. Make sure the printer has finished sending or receiving faxes before turning it off.

    • Remember that faxes cannot be sent or received while the printer is off.

  • To avoid scratching surfaces, do not clean with tissue paper, paper towels, or rough-textured cloth. Additionally, paper dust or fibers may remain in the printer and clog the print head or affect printing quality.

  • Never clean the printer with detergent or volatile chemicals such as thinner, benzine, or acetone, which may cause malfunction or damage surfaces.

  1. Open the document tray (A).

  2. Open the document feeder cover (B).

  3. With the prepared cloth, wipe off any paper dust from the inside of the document feeder cover (C).

  4. After wiping, close the document feeder cover by pushing it until it clicks into place.

  5. Close the document tray.
