ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
This chapter explains how to keep the machine operating smoothly, including viewing copy count, and scan count, 
the toner level indicator, and cleaning the machine.
CHECKING THE TOTAL OUTPUT 
COUNT AND TONER LEVEL
CHECKING THE TOTAL OUTPUT COUNT 
When Auditing mode is ON:
From the - - - display, you can check the total output count, total copy count, and total scan count as explained 
below.
When Auditing mode is OFF:
From the     0 display, you can check the total output count, total copy count, and total scan count as explained 
below.
The total output count is all pages (for both printing and copying) printed by the machine and the total output count 
can be counted up to 999,999.
[Total output count]
Hold down the [0] key.
The total output count 
appears sequentially in 
two parts while you hold 
down the [0] key.
Example: Total number of pages output is 12,345.
[Total copy count]
Hold down the [READ-END] key ( ).
The total copy count 
appears in the display 
while you hold down the 
key.
The count display and 
counting method are the 
same as for the total 
output count.
[Total scan count]
Hold down the [ ] key.
The total scan count 
appears in the display 
while you hold down the 
key.
The count display and 
counting method are the 
same as for the total 
output count.
 Each A3 size page is counted as two 
pages.
 During a copy run, pressing the [0] key 
shows the number of completed copy 
pages, not the total output count.Note
The total number of pages printed in printer 
mode can be calculated by subtracting the 
total copy count from the total output count.Note

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE DOCUMENT GLASS AND 
SPF/RSPF/DOCUMENT COVER
If the document glass, underside of the document cover/SPF/RSPF, or the scanner for originals coming from the 
SPF/RSPF (the long narrow glass surface on the right side of the document glass) become dirty, the dirt may appear 
on copies. Always keep these parts clean.
Stains or dirt on the document glass/SPF/RSPF will also be copied. Wipe the document glass, underside of the 
document cover/SPF/RSPF and the scanning window on the document glass with a soft, clean cloth.
If necessary, dampen the cloth with water. Do not use thinner, benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents.
CLEANING THE ORIGINAL SCANNING GLASS (ONLY 
WHEN AN SPF/RSPF IS INSTALLED)
If white or black lines appear in copies made with using the SPF/RSPF, 
use the provided glass cleaner to clean the original scanning glass. (If 
white or black lines appear in copies or printed pages when the 
SPF/RSPF is not used, see CLEANING THE TRANSFER CHARGER 
(p.84).
1Open the SPF/RSPF and take out the 
glass cleaner.2Clean the original scanning glass with 
the glass cleaner.
3Return the glass cleaner to its original 
position.
Do not spray flammable cleaner gas. Gas from the spray may come in contact with the internal 
electrical components or high-temperature parts of the fusing unit, creating a risk of fire or 
electrical shock.
