Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it thoroughly several times a year.
Follow these steps to clean your printer:
1. Make sure there is no paper loaded in the printer, and then turn off the printer.
2. Hold both sides of the printer cover and move it upward to open it.
3. Push the release lever to move the upper mechanism up. Make sure that you push the lever to the
guide mark until it clicks and locks into place.
Note:
If the upper mechanism is not locked, it may drop down while you are cleaning the printer.
4. Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt from the outer case.
5. If the outer case is still dirty or dusty, clean them with a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild
detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside the
printer and be careful not to get water in the front slot.
Caution:
!
❏ Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer; these chemicals can damage the printer
components as well as the case.
❏ Be careful not to get water onto 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 lubricants can damage the
printer mechanism. Contact an Epson dealer if you think lubrication is needed.
