Cleaning your printer

This printer has been designed to be maintenance-free. For that reason, only a minimum of cleaning is needed. Other than maintaining the outer appearance of the printer, you may need to clean the output port window, which is explained below. To clean the outer surface of the printer, use a dry soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or stains.

If the printer's surface becomes very dirty, wipe it with a cloth moistened in a dilute mild soap. Wipe the printer dry with a dry, soft cloth.

Caution: Never use solvents, such as benzine, or cleaners to clean any part of the printer.
