Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year, following these steps:

1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and

disconnect the printer cable.

2. Remove all the paper from the sheet feeder.

3. Carefully clean away dust and dirt with a soft brush.

4. Clean the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp cloth.

Keep the printer cover closed so water doesn’t get inside.

5. Clean ink out of the printer’s interior with a soft, damp

cloth.

Caution:

◗

Don’t touch the gears
inside the printer.

◗

Never use alcohol or
thinner for cleaning; they
can damage the printer
components and case.

◗

Don’t use a hard or
abrasive brush.

◗

Don’t get water on the
printer components.

◗

Don’t spray lubricants or
oils inside the printer.
