Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer working at its best, clean it if it becomes soiled.
1. If your prints are soiled by ink on the roller, load inexpensive roll paper
and press d to feed the paper without printing on it. Press d several 
times until the paper is clean.
2. Turn off the printer and wait until all the lights are off. Then unplug the
power cord and disconnect the printer from your system.
3. Open the front cover and use canned air or a soft lint-free cloth to
carefully clean away any dust or dirt inside the printer.
4. Clean the area shown below in the direction of the arrows. If necessary,
dampen the cloth, clean the inside of the printer, then dry it with a soft 
cloth.
Caution: Be careful not 
to touch the gears inside 
the printer.
To avoid damaging the 
components as well as 
the case, never use 
alcohol or thinners to 
clean the printer. 
Be careful not to get 
water on the printer 
mechanism or electronic 
components.
Don’t use a hard or 
abrasive brush.
Don’t spray the inside 
of the printer with 
lubricants; unsuitable 
oils can damage the 
mechanism. Contact 
Epson if you think the 
printer needs lubrication.
Do not touch the gray 
area, roller, or absorption 
pads inside the printer; 
otherwise your prints may 
be soiled.
