Cleaning the Machine
From the viewpoint of infectious disease prevention measures, we will explain how to disinfect the parts of the product that come into contact with the hands.
Read This before Cleaning and Disinfecting the Product
Be sure to turn off the power of the product and disinfect it with the power plug and battery removed.
When cleaning the product, spray the disinfectant lightly on a soft, dry cloth, and wipe the area lightly and quickly where the product come into contact with the hands.
Do not spray the disinfectant directly on the product (because the product is a precision instrument, it may malfunction or smoke due to corrosion, and so on if chemicals enter the inside of it).
Be sure not to allow water to get into the ventilation openings, the gaps around the operation buttons, and the connectors and battery terminals.
Prohibited solvents
Do not use chemicals such as cleaners and organic solvents such as flammable sprays, thinner, or benzine. They may seep through the gap or melt the plastic of the main body, causing a malfunction or fire.
Do not use detergents containing bleach or abrasives.
Precautions after disinfecting floors
After disinfecting floors and walls, wipe disinfectants off with a dry cloth so that no disinfectants pool in the space near our products (floors, walls, and so on). The intake fan of the product may suck moisture into the machine.
Clean the machine periodically to maintain high print quality.
Dry wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. If dry wiping is not sufficient, wipe with a soft, damp cloth that has been wrung out thoroughly. If you still cannot remove the stain or grime, use a neutral detergent, wipe over the area with a thoroughly-wrung damp cloth, and then dry wipe the area and allow it to dry.
To avoid deformation, discoloration, or cracking, do not use volatile chemicals, such as benzine and thinner, or spray insecticide on the machine.
When there is dust or grime inside the machine, wipe it off with a clean, dry cloth.
You must disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a year. Clean away any dust and grime from the plug and outlet before reconnecting. Accumulated dust and grime pose a fire hazard.
Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small objects to fall inside the machine.
Clean the toner density sensor when the message prompting you to clean it is displayed on the control panel.
