Cleaning the Printer

1.Remove any paper loaded in the printer and turn it off.

2.Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet; then disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

3.Remove the paper guide. If a pull tractor or an optional cut-sheet feeder is installed, remove it.

4.Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt from the outer case and paper guide.

5.If the outer case or paper guide is still dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside the printer.

Caution: Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer; these chemicals can damage the printer components as well as the case.

Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or electronic components.

Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.

Do not spray lubricants inside the printer; unsuitable oils can damage the printer mechanism. Contact an EPSON dealer if you think lubrication is needed.
