Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it
thoroughly several times a year.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off. Then remove the paper
guide, printer cover, tractor unit, and any installed options.
2. Use a soft brush to carefully clear away all dust and dirt.
3. If the outer case or paper guide is dirty or dusty, clean it with
a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent. Keep the
printer cover in place to prevent water from getting inside the
printer.
WARNING: Be careful not to get water on the printer
mechanism or electronic components.

Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer;
these chemicals can damage the components as well
as the case.
l
Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.
l
Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants;
unsuitable oils can damage the mechanism. Contact
your dealer or a qualified service person if you think
lubrication is needed.
