Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year.
1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect the USB cable.
2. Remove all the paper, then use a soft brush to clean the
sheet feeder.
3. If the outer case or inside of the sheet feeder is dirty, clean it
with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the
printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside.
4. If there is any ink inside the printer, wipe it off with a damp
cloth in the area shown.
Warning:
Don’t touch the gears or any other parts inside the
printer.
Caution:
Never use a hard or abrasive brush, or benzine, alcohol, or
paint thinner for cleaning; they can damage the printer components
and case.
Don’t get water on the printer components and don’t spray or apply
lubricants, oils, or grease inside the printer.
Don’t use any cleaning sheets included with special paper; they
may jam inside the printer.
Transporting the Printer
If you need to ship your printer, you must prepare it for
transportation by packing the printer in its original box or one
of a similar size.
Caution:
When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it,
stand it up vertically, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may
leak from the cartridges. Also, leave the ink cartridges installed.
Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print head and may
prevent the printer from printing.
1. Remove all paper from the sheet feeder.
2. Turn the printer off.
3. Open the printer cover and make sure the print head is in
the home (far right) position.
4. Secure the print head in the home position with a piece of
tape, as shown below.
5. Close the printer cover.
6. Unplug the power cord from the outlet, then disconnect the
USB cable from your computer.
7. Close the front tray extensions and front cover.
