Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer in optimum operating condition,
clean it regularly (about once a month).

Cleaning the outside

A
Remove any paper from the printer.
B
Make sure the printer is turned off and the
screen has turned off, and then unplug the
power cable from the outlet.
C
Use a soft, clean cloth to carefully remove any
dust or dirt.
To prevent dust from accumulating, be sure to
clean the following areas on the back and sides.
If the printer is particularly dirty, dampen the
cloth with water containing a small amount of
neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the
cloth dry before using it to wipe the printer's
surface. Next, use a dry cloth to wipe away any
remaining moisture.
c
Important:
Never use benzene, thinners, or alcohol to
clean the printer. They could cause
discoloration and deformities.

Cleaning the inside

Clean the pressure rollers if prints are smudged or
soiled.
Ink and particles of paper adhering to the platen
should be removed, as they may otherwise soil the
paper.

water containing a small amount of neutral
detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry
before using it to wipe the printer's surface.
Then, dry off the inside of the printer with a
dry, soft cloth.

or soiled prints.
