Solution
This section describes how to clean the inside of the machine. If the inside of the machine becomes dirty, printed paper may get dirty, so we recommend performing cleaning regularly.
IMPORTANT
Do not perform any other operation while the bottom plate is being cleaned.
1. Make sure that the machine is turned on, and then remove any paper from the Rear Tray.
2. Open the Front Tray, and then extend the Output Paper Support.
3. Fold a single sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in half widthwise, and then
unfold the paper.
4. Load this and only this sheet of paper in the Rear Tray with the open side to the
front.
(A) Load the paper after unfolding it.
5. Perform bottom plate cleaning.

Even if the Front Tray is selected as the paper source, paper will be fed from the Rear Tray.

The paper cleans the inside of the machine as it feeds through the machine.
Check the folded part of the ejected paper. If it is smudged with ink, perform Bottom Plate Cleaning again.
If the problem is not resolved after performing Bottom Plate Cleaning twice, the protrusions inside the machine may be stained. Clean them according to instructions. See [Cleaning the Protrusions Inside the Machine].
REFERENCE
When performing Bottom Plate Cleaning again, make sure to use a new piece of paper.
If protrusions inside the machine are stained, wipe off any ink from the protrusions using a cotton swab or the like.
CAUTION
Be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord before cleaning the machine.
