Overview

Cleaning
Exterior Surfaces
The exterior surfaces of the printer may be cleaned as required by using
a lint free cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or sol-
vents. If necessary, a mild detergent solution or desktop cleaner may be
used sparingly.
Interior
Remove any accumulated dirt/lint from the interior of the printer using
a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner. This area should be in-
spected after every four rolls of media.
