CLEANING THE PRINTER
Cleaning the printer occasionally and keeping it well maintained will help it to
last longer and run better.

Caution: Do not use rubbing alcohol or petroleum-based chemicals to clean the
printer as these will damage the plastic parts Take special care not to
get any cleaner on the electronic components.

maintenance. Apply a common cleaner such as fantastik® or Formula 409® to
a damp cloth and gently wipe the surface of the printer.
