7 Maintaining the printer
This chapter explains basic printer maintenance, including cleaning the
printer, and maintaining the printheads and ink cartridges. You can find
information about the state of the printer, the printheads, and the ink
cartridges from the Toolbox if you have it installed. You can also
perform many maintenance functions from the Toolbox.
Cleaning the printer
The printer does not require scheduled maintenance. You should
attempt, however, to keep the printer free of dust and debris. This
cleaning keeps the printer in peak condition and might also make the
diagnosis of problems easier.
When you clean the printer, follow these guidelines:
l Clean the outside of the printer with a soft cloth moistened with mild
detergent and water.
l Clean the inside of the printer with a dry, lint-free cloth.
l Be careful not to touch the rollers. Skin oils on the rollers can cause
print quality problems.
To clean the inside of the printer
1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord.
2 Open the top cover.
3 Wipe any dust or dirt off the paper feed guides (shaded areas) with
a dry, lint-free cloth.
4 Close the top cover, plug the power cord in, and turn on the printer.
Remember to turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before
cleaning the printer.
Clean the printer only with water or water mixed with a mild detergent.
Using other cleaners or alcohol can damage the printer.
Avoid reaching too far into the printer.
