2Wipe the machine’s exterior with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing 
detergent solution.
CAUTION
Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol, or any other organic solvent to clean the machine, as these can 
damage the machine’s surface.
3Plug the power cord back in.
Cleaning the ADF Area
Black lines may appear in printouts when the ADF is used to feed documents.
This is coused by paste, ink, correction fluid, or other foreign matters in the read area of the ADF 
(shaded area). Use a clean soft cloth to wipe the read area clean. Take particular care to clean at the 
locations where the black lines are appearing on printouts.
If you have trouble getting the glass clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water or a mild neutral 
detergent, and then wipe the glass dry with another cloth.
IMPORTANT
Paste, ink, correction fluid, and other foreign matter can soil the scanning glass when you send a document 
through the ADF while the paste, ink, or correction fluid on the original is still wet. This is what causes black lines 
on copies. Whenever you load a document is the ADF, always check to make sure that any paste, ink, or 
correction fluid that is on the document is completely dry.
NOTE
When you unplug the machine, any documents stored in memory will be erased if you leave the machine 
unplugged for 1 hour or more. Be sure to plug in the machine after cleaning to avoid this happening.
