Cleaning the Printer Exterior

Cleaning the Printer Exterior

Clean the printer regularly to maintain better printing quality and help prevent problems.
About once a month, clean the printer exterior.

1

Turn the printer off. 

 (See "

Turning the Printer On and Off

.")

➔

P.17

2

Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

Caution

•

Always turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning or maintenance. Accidentally leaving
the printer on poses a risk of injury if you touch moving parts inside the printer.

3

 

Using a damp cloth that you have wrung out completely,
wipe the exterior surfaces of the printer. Dry the surfaces
with a dry cloth.

Warning

•

Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If these substances come into contact
with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.

Important

•

If the Ejection Guide is dirty, it may soil the edge of the paper when the paper is cut. We recommend clean-
ing the Ejection Guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with paper dust.

4

Plug the power cord into the outlet.

Cleaning Inside the Top Cover
