Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it
thoroughly several times a year.
Follow these steps to clean the printer:
1. Remove any paper loaded in the printer, and turn off the
printer.
2. If the optional roll paper holder and rear paper guide are
installed, remove them.
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 closed to
prevent water from getting inside the printer and be careful
not to get water in the front slot.
