CAUTION 

Never spray or pour cleaners directly on or into the AstroJet 2000 Printer.  
Excess liquid could harm electronic parts.  Always dampen a rag with the 
cleaner and apply it to the parts to be cleaned. 

Cleaning the Media Sensor 

 

Periodically check the media sensor located in the print carriage area of the printer section.  
The sensor should be clean and free of accumulated paper dust.  Use a vacuum with a soft 
brush attachment or dry compressed air to remove the dust.
