Cleaning the Printer

Your printer requires little routine maintenance. Perform the following maintenance, as necessary, to keep your printer in good operating condition.

C❍ Make sure the printer is turned off before cleaning it. It is a good idea to unplug the AC adapter also.

❍Do not clean the exterior of the printer with volatile liquids such as thinners, benzine, or any spray-type or chemical cleaners; doing so will damage the surface of the printer.

❍When cleaning the printer, avoid the area near the print head on the BJ cartridge. Do not touch the print head. Ink may leak out and cause stains.

Clean the printer regularly to avoid printing problems. Remove any ink mist or paper debris from the interior of the printer using a soft cloth moistened with water. Clean especially well around the platen area. If the rollers become dirty, you can clean them using a small soft brush.
