Cleaning the ADF (Auto Document Feeder)

Use a soft, dry cloth that is clean and lint-free to clean the ADF (Auto Document Feeder).

Important

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

    • The power cannot be turned off while the machine is sending or receiving a fax, or when unsent faxes are stored in the machine's memory. Make sure the machine has finished sending or receiving faxes before turning it off.
    • Remember that faxes cannot be sent or received while the machine is off.
    • Unplugging the machine will reset the date/time setting and erase all documents in the machine's memory. Send faxes, print documents, or save jobs to a USB flash drive as needed before unplugging the machine.
  • 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 machine and clog the print head or affect printing quality.
  • Never clean the machine with detergent or volatile chemicals such as thinner, benzine, or acetone, which may cause malfunction or damage surfaces.
