6. Turn the ribbon-tightening knob again to remove any slack
in the ribbon and to make sure the ribbon moves freely.
7. Close the printer cover.

Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it
thoroughly several times a year. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the printer and remove any paper as well as the
paper guide. If an optional cut-sheet feeder is installed,
remove it.
2. Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt
from the other case.
3. 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 closed to
prevent water from getting inside the printer.
Caution:
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.

Transporting the Printer

If you need to transport your printer some distance, carefully
repack it as described below, using the original box and
packing materials.
1. Turn off the printer and remove any paper loaded in the
printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet; then
disconnect the interface cable from the printer. If an
optional cut-sheet feeder is installed, remove it.
Warning:
If the printer has been used recently, the print head
may be hot. Let it cool before attempting to remove
the ribbon cartridge.
3. Remove the paper guide. Remove the ribbon cartridge as
described in steps 1 through 3 of "Replacing the Ribbon
Cartridge" earlier in this chapter. Then close the printer
cover.
4. Repack the printer, ribbon cartridge, paper guide, and power
cord in the original packing materials and place them in the
printer's original box.
