This chapter describes how to handle and clean the printer.
Blurred or splotchy prints and paper jams can result from dusty printer
parts. Regular cleaning takes only a few minutes and helps ensure
print quality. Printer parts that require cleaning are the paper pickup
rollers and the outside surface of the printer.

Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse may cause
damage. Keep the following guidelines in mind:
Do not place anything on the top of the printer.
Avoid spraying cleaning solution directly on the printer’s surface;
the spray could penetrate through the air vents of the printer and
damage the internal circuits.
Do not use any cleaning solution other than synthetic detergent.
Be careful when cleaning the inside or removing paper jams, as
the fuser assembly and other internal parts become very hot.
Open the printer cover, and let the interior of the printer cool
before handling the inside of the printer.
Always close the printer covers gently. Never expose the printer
to vibrations.
If you use a dust cover over your printer, do not cover the printer
immediately after using it. Turn the printer off and wait until it
cools down.
Do not leave the printer open for any length of time, especially in
well-lit places; light may damage the OPC drum.
Do not open the printer during printing.
Do not tilt, lubricate, or disassemble the printer.
