Caring for Your Printer 5
User Manual 5-15
Using isopropyl alcohol
In general, it is best to use the purest isopropyl alcohol (99%) available to
you. You can use 90% pure isopropyl alcohol, but if you do, you must wait
after cleaning to make sure that printer parts are completely dry. 99%
isopropyl alcohol dries quickly; 90% isopropyl alcohol may take several
minutes to dry.
Caution Do not use rubbing alcohol because it can contain water and
oils that leave undesirable residue on the printer parts. Never
use water to clean the printerÕs internal components. Failure
to follow these instructions may invalidate your printerÕs
warranty.
Whenever the cleaning instructions refer to a lint-free cloth moistened with
isopropyl alcohol ( A ), you can substitute a pre-soaked alcohol cloth ( B ). When the
cleaning instructions direct you to use an alcohol-soaked swab, you can use
the extra alcohol in a pre-soaked alcohol cloth packet to moisten the
swab ( C ).
Warning Alcohol is ßammable; keep alcohol-soaked cloths and swabs
away from hot surfaces.
The reorder cleaning kit (order number 016-1520-00) includes these
pre-soaked alcohol cloth packets.
