in memory are erased when the power is disconnected, print or send any documents
stored in memory before disconnecting the power cord (1
p.9-4).
•Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick
to the components or generate static charges.
c

cleaner to clean the interior of the machine; these can damage the machine’s
components.
Cleaning the Machine’s Exterior
Follow this procedure to clean the machine’s outer casing:
1Disconnect the power cord from the
machine.
2Wipe the machine’s exterior with a
clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened
with water or diluted dishwashing
detergent solution.
3When you are finished, reconnect the
power cord.
