Daily Care and Maintenance
Always turn off the power switch and unplug the 
power plug when cleaning outside and inside the 
unit.
■Cleaning the screen and the unit
Gently wipe the screen film and unit with a water-
dampened cloth that has been thoroughly wrung.
Note
• Use a commercially available white board 
cleaner for hard-to-erase stains. 
(SANFORD® EXPO® white board cleaner 
etc.)
If you accidentally write on the screen with an 
oil-based marker, wipe with a small amount of 
ethyl alcohol.
• Do not use thinner, benzine or cleaners 
containing abrasives as this may result in 
discoloration.
• Do not wipe the screen film with a dry cloth as 
this may generate a static charge.
■Caring for the eraser
When the erasing surface of the eraser becomes 
dirty, hold down the sheet under the top sheet with 
your finger and peel off the dirty sheet (white or gray 
sheet) by pulling in the direction of the arrow.
Note
• Be sure to peel off only one sheet; white or 
gray sheet of the eraser.
• When the eraser becomes thin, make sure 
that the corners of the eraser do not strike the 
screen during erasing as this may damage 
the screen.
■Cleaning the printer head, platen 
roller and pick-up roller
If black streaks appear on the copy, clean the printer 
head and the platen roller.
If paper jams occur frequently, clean the pick-up 
roller.
