Cleaning the Document Feed Rollers and Document Holding Rollers

If the document feed rollers in the ADF are contaminated with ink, toner particles or paper dust, documents and outputs get dirty and a paper jam may occur. Clean the ADF once a month to prevent these problems.

Note

Do not use benzine, thinners, or alcohol. They may damage the plastic parts of the machine.
