Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it thoroughly
several times a year. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned off. Then remove any paper loaded in
the printer.
2. Remove the paper guide. If a pull tractor or an optional cut-sheet feeder
is installed, remove it.
3. Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt from the
outer case and paper guide.
4. If the outer case or paper guide is still dirty, clean it with a soft, clean
cloth dampened with mild detergent dissolved in water. Keep the
printer cover in place and lower the paper guide cover until it lies flat
on the top of the printer to prevent water from getting inside the
printer.
Caution:
