Follow this procedure to periodically check and clean the scanner components:
1 Disconnect the power cord from the
FAX.
2 Use both hands to gently open the
operation panel.
• It only opens partially.
3 While holding the operation panel
open, clean these components:
❏ Separation guide and separation
roller:
Wipe with a clean, soft, dry, lint-
free cloth.
❏ White sheet and scanning glass:
Wipe with a clean, soft, lint-free

wipe with a clean, soft, dry, lint-
free cloth.

Note
• If the scanner components are
dirty, the documents you send or
copy will also be dirty.
• Be sure to use a soft cloth to
avoid scratching the components.
• Do not use tissue paper, paper
towels, or similar materials for
cleaning; they can stick to the
components or generate static
charges.
