Cleaning

Depending on the media used, the printer may accumulate

residues (media dust, adhesives, etc.) as a by-product of normal

printing. To maintain top printing quality, you should remove these

residues by cleaning the printer periodically.

Clean the exterior surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth. If

necessary, use a mild detergent or desktop cleaning solution.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

Clean the interior of the printer by removing any dirt and lint with a

soft-bristled, non-metallic brush. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove

the residue.

Periodically clean all rollers, guides, and assemblies. Use low

pressure air to remove dust in the printer. Use isopropyl alcohol and

a cotton swab to clean any areas where media dust, adhesives, etc.

have accumulated.
