Be sure to turn OFF the power and disconnect the power cord before
cleaning the machine.
Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning. Paper
tissue powders or fine threads may remain inside the machine and cause
problems such as a blocked Print Head and poor printing results. Use a soft
cloth to avoid scratching the components.
Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other
chemical cleaner to clean the machine; these can damage the machine's
components.
