Cleaning The Printer - Epson Stylus Photo 2000P Printer Basics Manual

Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer working its best, you should clean it several times a year. Follow
these steps:
1. Turn off the printer and wait for the Ppower light to go out.
2. Unplug the power cord and disconnect the printer cable.
3. Remove all the paper from the sheet feeder.
4. Clean the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp cloth.
5. Clean ink out of the printer's interior with a soft, damp cloth.
Don't clean the gears or touch any other parts inside the printer,
except as described below.
Never use a hard or abrasive brush, or alcohol or thinner for cleaning;
they can damage the printer components and case.
Don't get water on printer components, and don't spray oils or
lubricants inside the printer.
If you notice streaks of ink marring your printouts, your printer's paper eject rollers
may be dirty. You can clean the rollers using the cleaning tool that came with your
printer (or you can just use cotton swabs). Follow these steps:
1. Plug in the printer, but make sure it's turned off and the Ppower light is not on.
2. Place several sheets of plain paper in the printer.
3. Dampen the cleaning tool, and then squeeze out any excess water.
4. Hold down the yellow ink cartridge replacement button, and then turn on the
printer by pressing the Ppower button. Continue holding down the yellow
button until you see all three control panel lights flashing.
5. Press the E load/eject button. A sheet of paper feeds into the printer (under the
paper eject rollers) and the rollers turn slowly.
