Cleaning The Printer - Epson PRO Reference Manual

Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it
occasionally as follows:
1. Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord and
interface cable(s).
2. Remove any paper from the paper tray.
3. Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt.
4. If the outer case or the inside of the paper tray 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.

electronic components.
