Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer in optimum operating condition,
clean it regularly (about once a month).
Use the provided (or consumable) cleaning sheet to
clean the paper slot once a year, as a guideline.
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.
In particular, clean the rear and sides so that
dust does not accumulate. (The illustration
below shows the printer when the Adobe
PostScript 3 Expansion Unit is installed.)
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.
Maintenance
Cleaning the inside
When some components are dirty, the following occurs.
❏ Roller section
Prints are smudged or soiled.

Paper is soiled by ink and particles of paper
adhering to the paper.
Failure to remove dust and particles of paper
could result in clogged nozzles or damage to the
print head.
❏ Paper feed sensor
Print quality declines.
❏ Paper slot
Dust settles on the print results and the print
heads, which clogs the nozzles.
