Cleaning The Printer - Canon BJC-85 User Manual

Cleaning the Printer

Follow the instructions in this section to clean the printer and keep it in good working order
to prevent paper jams, poor paper feeding, and other problems.
Please follow these precautions and guidelines:
• Clean the surfaces of the printer only with a clean, damp cloth. To avoid a fire
hazard, do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or any other type of flammable
liquid that could come in contact with the hot electrical contacts inside the printer.
• Before you clean the printer, turn the printer off and unplug the power cord from
the power outlet. To avoid accidentally turning the printer on during cleaning and
causing an injury from moving parts inside the printer, always unplug the power
cord before cleaning the printer.
• To prevent injury from the moving parts inside the printer, do not insert your
fingers or hand into the printer while it is operating.
• The electrical contacts on the BJ cartridge become extremely hot during normal
operation. To prevent minor burns, do not touch the electrical contacts on the
print head.
• Keep paper clips, staples, pins, and all other types of fasteners away from the
printer; these may accidentally fall into the printer.
• To avoid accidental spills into the printer, causing a dangerous short circuit, keep
all liquids away from the printer. Do not use the printer near stored flammable
liquids.
