Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer working at its best, clean it if it becomes soiled.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and all its lights are off. Then unplug
the power cord and disconnect the printer from your system.
2. Clean the outer case of the printer with a soft, clean cloth. If necessary,
dampen the cloth with mild detergent, clean the outside of the printer,
then dry it with a soft cloth. Keep the ink cartridge bays closed to
prevent water from getting inside.
3. Open the front cover and use canned air or a soft, lint-free cloth to
carefully clean away any dust or dirt inside the printer.
Clean the area shown in gray below following the direction of the
arrows. If necessary, dampen the cloth, clean the inside of the printer,
then dry it with a soft cloth.
