Turn the machine off. Apply a small amount of disinfecting alcohol (Isopropyl/Ethyl) onto a cloth and wipe the operation panel. Be sure to avoid pouring the alcohol solution directly onto operation panel or device surface. Then, wipe dry operation panel with dry soft cloth, if needed. Finally, turn on the machine.

This can be solved by lifting the lid, and cleaning the thin glass strip of your copier with an alcohol wipe, office wipe or dry cloth. A step by step guide can be found here: https://youtu.be/6dJkNtBkUEw

Some misfeeds can be due to the paper’s condition, or how it is input into the tray. Paper should be laid flat during storage, to avoid damage to the paper’s condition. Also, before placing the paper, ‘fan’ it and then load into the tray.

If you still experience issues, try printing from another tray. If this solves the issue, use fresh paper from a new ream in the original tray.

Ensure the paper size is set correctly by adjusting the three ‘fences’ in the tray. To place them correctly, they should be gently touching the sides of the paper.

SC service codes can be raised if there is an obstruction of the finisher or staple unit. To clear, check there is no obstruction in the trays (such as a waste paper bin). Once this is done, switch the power off, wait for ten seconds, then turn it back on. If the error message is still displaying, contact us for further assistance.

When this message displays, make sure you have a spare toner at hand – if you don’t, contact us to arrange a replacement. To maximise toner use, wait until the cartridge is empty (a message will display on the device) before you change it.

Your device will stop working once the waste toner bottle is full. The machine alerts when it is nearly full. Once this displays, contact us for a replacement.
