Cleaning the Printer

In order to maintain print quality, thoroughly clean the printer following the
instructions below. When cleaning the printer, pay particular attention to the notes and
cautions for safe maintenance.
CAUTION
Power OFF the printer prior to cleaning.
Do not use solvent on the printer. Using solvent may dissolve the plastic
and paint of the printer.
Do not use cleaning solutions to clean inside and around the printer. Use
only a water-moistened cloth.
NOTE
If the toner gets on your clothes, wipe it off with a dry cloth first and wash
the clothes in COLD water. Be careful not to use hot water as it permits the
