Cleaning The Printer - Epson FX-1180 User Manual

Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it thoroughly
several times a year. Follow these steps:
1. Remove any paper loaded in the printer, and turn off the printer.
2. Remove the paper guide. If an optional cut-sheet feeder is installed,
remove it.
3. Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt from the outer
case and paper guide.
4. If the outer case and the paper guide are still dirty or dusty, clean them
with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent dissolved in
water. Keep the printer cover and front cover closed to prevent water
from getting inside the printer.

Cleaning and Transporting the Printer
Never use alcohol or thinners to clean the printer; these chemicals
can damage the printer components as well as the case.
Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or electronic
components.
Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.
Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants; unsuitable
oils can damage the printer mechanism. Contact your EPSON
dealer if you think lubrication is needed.
