Maintaining
Your Printer
This section describes how to clean the printer and remove the ribbon
cartridge.
Cleaning the Printer
Before you clean the printer:
1
Turn the printer Off.
2
Unplug the power cord.
3
Wait until the printhead is cool.
Cleaning the inside of the printer: Every few months, use a soft brush and a
vacuum to remove dust, ribbon lint, and pieces of paper. Remove the ribbon
cartridge to prevent the ribbon from going into the vacuum. Vacuum any dust
from around the printhead and in the printer cavity.
Cleaning the cover: Clean the outside of the printer with a damp cloth and
mild soap. Do not use any spray-type or chemical cleaners anywhere on your
printer. Do not put any liquids or spray near the air vents. For stubborn ink
stains on the cover, use a commercial mechanic's hand cleaner.
