Maintenance Overview 75
6.1 Overview
This section describes maintenance work to maintain the functions and performance of
this product.
6.1.1 Cleaning
Clean if dirt is visible. As dirt on the glass for placing the document affects directly
image reading quality, clean the glass completely.
Exterior parts
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with water and wipe off any dirt. If the exterior
parts are very dirty, use a cloth moistened with a neutral detergent to wipe it off.
Inside the printer
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any paper dust.
Glass for placing the original document on
Remove dust or any paper with a clean dry cloth. If dirt is serious or foreign
material is adhering, wipe it off with a cloth moistened with a neutral detergent. If
a trace of wiping has remained, wipe the glass again with a dry clean cloth.
ASF LD Roller
If paper dust on the surface of the ASF LD Roller lowers the friction, place the
adhesive surface of the cleaning sheet included in the media on the surface of the
ASF roller and repeat paper loading from the ASF.
6.1.2 Maintenance of the Scanner
6.1.2.1 Lubrication Points of the Scanner (TBD)
When any part of the CR Unit of the scanner has been replaced or the sound of carriage
moving is loud, lubrication is necessary. Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2 below indicate the
designated grease and lubrication points.

Never use chemical solvents, such as thinner or benzine, as they
may deform or deteriorate plastic and rubber products.
Be careful not to damage any components when you clean
inside the printer.
Do not scratch the surface of the PF roller assembly. Use a soft
brush to wipe off any dust. Use a soft cloth moistened with
alcohol to remove ink stain.
Do not use frequently the cleaning sheet included in the media.
It may damage the coated surface of the PF roller.
However, it is no problem to clean the surface of the ASF LD
roller by placing the adhesive surface of the cleaning sheet on
the ASF LD roller.
