PRINTER CARTRIDGES – Clean the print cartridges when you notice that lines or
dots are missing or smudged on the printed text or graphics. Refer to the Printer's
User Guide for instructions on cleaning the Print Cartridges. Align the print cartridges
when you notice that color ink does not properly line up with black ink. Refer to the
Printer's User Guide for instructions on aligning the print cartridges.

MOUSE – If you feel that the mouse is jerking and you want to clean it by hand,
follow these steps:
1. First, unplug your mouse from the PC.
2. Turn the mouse’s removable cover anti-clockwise to release the ball, remove
the cover and take the ball out.
3. Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water, window cleaner or mild
detergent to clean the mouse ball; be sure to remove all dust/hair/debris.
4. You can improvise on how to clean the rollers, using your fingernail gets good
results, if the mouse hasn't been cleaned before then you will see lots of dust
on the rollers, whichever way you choose to clean them make sure you
remove all traces of dust/debris as the smallest piece can cause the mouse to
behave erratically.
5. When you have removed all traces of dust/dirt from the rollers and the ball is
clean, simply put the ball back in and replace the cover turning clockwise to
lock it in place.
6. Plug the mouse back into your machine and turn the machine on, now your
mouse should be as good as new.

TRACKBALL – The trackball is generally a self-cleaning unit. As the ball rolls, dirt
and dust are scraped off by the three bearings and drop to the bottom of the unit. If
you feel that the trackball is jerking and you want to clean it by hand, follow these
steps:
1. Remove the three screws found on the bottom of the trackball unit.
2. Lift up the top of the trackball unit.
3. Remove the ball from inside and rub it gently with a cloth.
4. Rub the cloth over the three bearings and wipe out any dirt that has collected
inside the bottom of the unit. Place the ball back in its original position.
5. Replace the top cover and tighten the three screws.
6. Your ball should run as smoothly as new.
If something spills into the trackball, follow the above steps. If more problems occur,
refer to the Owner’s guide supplied with the trackball for technical assistance.
