Chapter 8—Maintaining the Printer

External Cleaning

Always unplug the power cord before cleaning the printer.

If using the printer in an industrial environment, where the premises may be cleaned using a water hose or steam, move the printer to another room or cover it carefully with a plastic sheet and make absolutely sure that the power cord is unplugged.

Clean the external surfaces using a soft cloth, possibly slightly moisten with water or a mild detergent.

Stuck labels should be peeled away using your ﬁngers only. If necessary, dissolve the adhesive using isopropyl alcohol ﬁrst.

Isopropyl alcohol [(CH3)2CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly ﬂammable, moderately toxic, and mildly irritating sub- stance.
