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, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect the printer cable.
2. Remove all the paper from the sheet feeder.
3. Clean the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp cloth.
4. Clean ink out of the printer's interior with a soft, damp
cloth.
Don't touch the gears inside the printer.
Never use alcohol or thinner for cleaning; they can damage
the printer components and case.
Don't use a hard or abrasive brush.
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 media;
they may jam inside the printer.

Transporting the Printer

If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it
for transportation in its original box. Follow these steps:
To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed
when transporting the printer.
Be sure to remove the tape used in step 4 after installing
the printer in its new location.
1. Turn on the printer, wait until the print head locks in the
far right position, then turn off the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then
disconnect the printer cable from the printer.
3. Remove any paper from the printer and remove the paper
support.
4. Open the printer cover. Secure the ink cartridge holder to
the printer with tape as shown, then close the printer cover.
5. Push in the output tray extensions and close the tray.
6. Repack the printer and attachments in the original box
using the protective materials that came with it. See the
unpacking sheet that was packed with your printer.
Be sure to keep the printer level as you transport it.
After transporting the printer, remove the tape securing the
print head and test your printer. If you notice a decline in
print quality, clean the print head (see page 9); if output is
misaligned, align the print head (see page 10).
