2. Once you hear or see a page start printing, open up the top cover (document feeder assembly). The page will
begin printing after about 30 seconds. You can see a page being printed by looking into the output tray.
3. After the pen has moved to the center of the fax machine, and the beeping sound has discontinued, push the pen
over to the left side of the machine (viewed from the front).
4. You will see a piece of paper partially printed. Pull this paper until in sticks out about 3 inches from the front
edge of the metal Paper Guide/Roller Assembly.

6. With a moist Q-tip, wipe the ink that has accumulated on the metal Paper Guide/Roller Assembly. Be careful
not to touch the ink with skin or clothing, since the ink will stain skin and clothing. Use only water to moisten
the Q-tip. Do not put water directly on the machine. Use as many moist Q-tips as are necessary to remove the
ink.
7. Using a dry Q-tip, remove any remaining moisture on the Paper Guide/ Roller Assembly.
8. Lower the top cover, plug in the fax machine, and turn it on. The fax machine will eject the piece of paper into
the output tray. Discard this piece of paper.
