Scanning glass and rollers

Clean the scanning glass and rollers frequently to ensure the quality of transmit­ted images and copies. Open the operation panel by pulling the front edge up
(grasp it at the PANEL RELEASE mark), and wipe the scanning glass, white
backplate, and rollers with a soft cloth.

♦

Make sure that all dirt and stains (such as correcting fluid) are removed, as
dirt and stains will cause vertical lines on transmitted images and copies.

♦

Adhesive cellophane tape is useful for removal of debris from the rollers.
