Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the printer and wait for the Ppower light to go
out.
2. Unplug the power cord and disconnect the printer cable.
3. Remove all the paper from the sheet feeder.
4. Clean the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp cloth.
Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water from getting
inside.
5. If ink leaks inside the printer, carefully wipe it off with a
damp cloth.
Don't touch the gears inside the printer.
Make sure you use a soft cloth to clean the printer's lid;
otherwise you may scratch it. Don't use a rough cloth,
and never use a hard or abrasive brush to clean any part
of the printer case.
Never use alcohol or thinner for cleaning; they can
damage the printer components and case.
Don't get water on the printer components and don't
spray lubricants or oils inside the printer.
Don't use any cleaning sheets included with special
paper; they may jam inside the printer.

for transportation in its original box or one of a similar size.

far right position, then turn off the printer.

disconnect it from the printer
