  1. Maintenance

Due to the pressure seal forms leaving paper dust, ink and toner residues, it is very important to occasionally clean the surface of the each roller to ensure optimum performance.

In case of fold roller, remove 1 st folding cassette and separate roller cover. Clean ink and toner residues on the folding roller with this soft cloth wet through alcohol.

  • Caution : Do not use oil as this will damage the surface of the folding roller.
