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 and all the control panel
lights are off. Then unplug the power cord.
2. Remove any paper from the sheet feeder.
3. Use a soft brush to carefully clean away all dust and dirt.
4. If the outer case or the inside of the sheet feeder is dirty, clean
it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent.
Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water from getting
inside.
5. If the inside of the printer accidentally gets soiled with ink,
wipe it off with a damp cloth.

Warning:
Be careful not to touch the gears inside the printer.

Caution:
❑
Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer; these
chemicals can damage the components as well as the case.
❑ Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or
electronic components.
❑ Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.
❑ 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 lubrication is needed.
