Cleaning inside and outside the printer

1. Open the top cover.

2. Clean the platen.

The platen, which holds the paper in position during ink transfer, may be soiled after a paper

jam or other paper feed problems. When the platen is soiled with ink, the back or edge of the

printed sheet may be smudged. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the platen clean.

WHILE YOU ARE CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE PRINTER, DO NOT BEND THE INSTRUCTION PLATE.
