Clean the Machine's Printer Platen
- WARNING
- Be sure to unplug the machine from the AC power outlet before cleaning the printer platen to avoid an electrical shock.
- Using both hands, use the finger holds on each side of the machine to lift the scanner cover into the open position.
- Clean the machine’s printer platen (1) and the area around it, wiping off scattered ink with a dry, soft lint-free cloth.
- IMPORTANT
- DO NOT touch the encoder strip, the thin strip of plastic that stretches across the width of the machine (2). Doing this may cause damage to the machine.
- Gently close the scanner cover using both hands.
- Reconnect the power cord.
