							Cleaning the Media Feed Rollers for Tray 2 (AcuLaser CX16NF only)
Be sure to remove the duplex option before cleaning the media feed rollers for Tray 2.
1. If the duplex option is installed, remove it.
Note:
If the duplex option is not installed and the locking pins are installed at the back of Tray 2, remove the
locking pins (one in each opening on the left and right sides at the back of Tray 2).
To remove a locking pin, turn it to either the left or the right so that its grip is vertical, and then pull
out the locking pin to remove it.
2. Remove the dust cover from Tray 1 and close the tray.
3. Lift the machine off of Tray 2 and temporarily place it on a sturdy flat surface.

							4. Clean the media feed rollers by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth.
5. Lift the machine and reinstall it on top of Tray 2.
6. Open Tray 1 and reattach the dust cover.
7. If you removed the duplex option in step 1, reinstall it.
Note:
If the duplex option is not to be installed, install the locking pins.
While holding the grip of the locking pin vertical, insert the locking pin into the opening on either the
left or right side of the 500-sheet paper cassette unit and, while pushing it in, turn it to either the left or
the right. The locking pin is installed when its grip is horizontal.
Installing the left and right locking pins secures the 500-sheet paper cassette unit to the machine so it
cannot be removed.
