Media Path Considerations

Use a cleaning swab or pen to remove debris, dust or crust that has built-up on the holders, guides and media path surfaces.

1.Use the alcohol in the cleaning swab or pen to soak the debris so that it breaks up.

2.Wipe the knobs to remove accumulated debris.

3.Wipe the inside edges of both edge guides to remove any built-up residue.

4.Wait one minute before closing the printer.

Discard the cleaning swab or pen after use.
