Cleaning the filter
Ventilation holes are provided on the right side and the
rear of the printer to prevent the unit from overheating.
When the message "CLEAN FAN FILTER" appears on
the printer window display, the filter covering the
ventilation holes on the rear of the unit has become dirty.
To clean the filter, proceed as follows.
Insert the cleaning tip holder until it stops, then pull
it toward you until the open window on the holder
fully appears.
Insert and pull out the holder about three times.
Remove the cleaning tip holder and close the
maintenance door.
Put the screw removed in step 3 back on the
maintenance door.
Note
Be sure to close the maintenance door and fasten it
with the screw. If the maintenance door is not
locked completely, the maintenance door may
open, and the printer stops the job while printing.
Press the POWER switch to turn on the printer
again.
