e Remove the paper feed inlet sensor (light-emitting), insert a cotton swab into the hole to remove powder or paper
dust adhered to the paper feed inlet sensor (light-receiving).
If the sensor is very dirty, remove the paper feed inlet upper guide to clean.
NoteNote
r Reinstall the paper feed inlet sensor (light-emitting) and sensor cover back to their original positions.

2-4-3. Providing instructions on cleaning the paper feed inlet sensor to users
“21. CLEANING THE UNIT” in the instruction manual (chapter 20 in the case of the DF-915) describes the method
of cleaning using an Air Duster (a commercially available air spray for eliminating dust). Explain the details carefully to
users and instruct them on use.
With this method, the nozzle of the Air Duster is inserted into the hole of the sensor cover and paper feed inlet and
sprayed briefly.
