Always turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning or maintenance. Accidentally leaving the
printer on poses a risk of injury if you touch moving parts inside the printer.
•
Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If these substances come into contact with
electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
•
If the Ejection Guide is dirty, it may soil the edge of the paper when the paper is cut. We recommend cleaning
the Ejection Guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with paper dust.
