pressurized spray cleaners increases the risk of fire and explosion.

maintain or service any parts that are behind these covers and guards. Do not attempt any

cleaners. Do not pour fluids directly into any area. Use supplies and cleaning materials only as
directed in this documentation.
Caution:
Do not place anything on top of the printer.
Caution:
Do not open covers and doors during printing. Do not leave the covers and doors open
for any length of time, especially in well-lighted places. Light exposure can damage the drum
cartridges.
Caution:
Do not tilt the printer while it is in use.
Caution:
Do not touch the electrical contacts or gears. Doing so could damage the printer and
cause the print quality to deteriorate.

Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of the printer once a month.
• Wipe the paper tray, output tray, control panel, and other parts with a damp, soft cloth.
• After cleaning, wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
• For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of mild detergent to the cloth and gently wipe the stain
off.
Caution:
Do not spray detergent directly on the printer. Liquid detergent could enter the printer
through a gap and cause problems. Never use cleaning agents other than water or mild
detergent.
