Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year.

1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and

disconnect the USB cable.

2. Remove all the paper, then use a soft brush to clean the

sheet feeder.

3. If the outer case or inside of the sheet feeder are dirty, clean

it with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the
printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside.
