Cleaning

Depending on the media used, the printer may accumulate residues (media dust, adhesives, etc.) as a by-product of normal printing. To maintain top printing quality, you should remove these residues by cleaning the printer periodically.

Exterior

Clean the exterior surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth. If necessary, use a mild detergent or desktop cleaning solution.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

Interior

Clean the interior of the printer by removing any dirt and lint with a soft-bristled, non-metallic brush. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the residue.

General Cleaning

Periodically clean all rollers, guides, and assemblies. Use low pressure air to remove dust in the printer. Use isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab to clean any areas where media dust, adhesives, etc. have accumulated.
