Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year, following these steps:
1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect the printer cable.
2. Remove all paper from the sheet feeder.
3. Clean the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp cloth.
Keep the printer cover closed so water doesn't get inside.
4. Clean ink out of the printer's interior with a damp cloth.
Transporting the Printer
If you want to move your printer some distance, you need to
prepare it for transportation and repack it in the original box.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn on the printer and wait until the print head locks in
the far right position. Then turn off the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then
disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
3. Remove any paper from the sheet feeder and remove the
paper support.
4. Push in the output tray extensions and close the tray.
5. Repack the printer and attachments in the original box
using the protective materials that came with it. See the
Notice Sheet that was packed with the printer.
Be sure to keep the printer flat as you transport it. If you notice
a decline in print quality after transporting the printer, clean the
print head; if output is misaligned, align the print head. See the
instructions in this chapter.
