16 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
16.1 Maintenance
16.1.1 Cleaning tips
Some things to keep in mind about cleaning your machine:
-Do clean it! Dust and dirt, especially around the fax machine’s air vents 
can shorten your machine’s life.
-Always unplug the machine before you clean it.
-Never spray any cleaner directly onto your machine. The drifting spray 
could damage components inside.
-Never try to clean sealed areas inside your machine. They are sealed to 
protect your safety and the machine.
-For cleaning the machine’s exterior, use a mild cleaning solution sprayed 
onto a lint-free cloth.
-In areas you cannot reach with swabs, always use dry, dust-free com-
pressed air to gently blow away dust and other material.
16.1.2 Cleaning the scanning area
1Wipe the document glass, ADF glass and document pad with a clean, 
soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water.
2Then wipe it with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth until it is clean and 
dry.
