Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer working at its best, clean it if it becomes soiled.
1. If your prints are soiled by ink on the roller, load inexpensive roll paper
and press d to feed the paper without printing on it. Press d several
times until the paper is clean.
2. Turn off the printer and wait until all the lights are off. Then unplug the
power cord and disconnect the printer from your system.
3. Open the front cover and use canned air or a soft lint-free cloth to
carefully clean away any dust or dirt inside the printer.
4. Clean the area shown below in the direction of the arrows. If necessary,
dampen the cloth, clean the inside of the printer, then dry it with a soft
cloth.
