Use a soft cloth to remove any ink mist or paper debris.

Do not rub the gear wheels.

Do not use any oil or cleanser inside the printer.

When cleaning inside the printer, avoid the area near the print head unit and
ink tanks. Do not touch the print head nozzles. Ink may leak out and cause
stains.

Do not move the print head unit from the home position.

Do not use paper products (such as paper towels or tissues) to clean the
inside of the printer. They may leave paper particles inside the printer.
