Introduction

Cleaning the scanner glass is fairly simple: the scanner tray must be removed prior to removing the scanner glass.

Proper cleaning of your scanner glass will require alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

What you need

Step 1

• Carefully wedge the flathead 3/32" screwdriver on the outer groove of the control panel faceplate.
• Follow the perimeter of the groove with the flathead 3/32" screwdriver making sure to gently pry and lift upward until the control panel faceplate comes off.
• Take your time prying off the control panel faceplate. If too much pressure is applied, the control panel faceplate can break.

• Underneath the control panel will be a flat grey ribbon cable. This cable is attached at the base of the green control board with the other end of the cable located on the back side of the printer’s base.
• Carefully disconnect both ends of the flat grey ribbon cable to release the control panel in its entirety.
• Only pull from the connector portion of the cable, as pulling on the wires may damage them.

I thought my printer was a goner for sure, then I stumbled on this site. All I had to do was clean the glass- it looked terrible!- and put it all back together. It was easy. I truly appreciate not having to get another printer- THANKS!

Worked great, but it did take more than 2-3 minutes!

This saved me and my printer!! Thx so much! In fact, the dust flocks were just against the internal buses and under the control panel. And I also found out that one can check most of the machine without having to uncable the grey ribbons.

Handle with extreem care though.

Thx thx thx!
