For Cleaning
Depending on the media used, the printer may accumulate residues (media dust, adhesives, etc.) as a by-product of normal
printing. To maintain the best printing quality, you should remove these residues by cleaning the printer periodically. Regularly
clean the print head and supply sensors once change a new media to keep the printer at the optimized performance and extend
printer life.

-
Set the printer power switch to O (Off) prior to performing any cleaning or disinfecting tasks. Leave the power cord
connected to keep the printer grounded and to reduce the risk of electrostatic damage.
