Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This chapter explains how to clean and transport the printer, and provides basic troubleshooting information.

Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it thoroughly several times a year. Follow these steps:

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

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

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

4.If the outer case or paper guide is still dirty or dusty, clean them with a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover in place and lower it until it lies flat on the top of the printer to prevent water from getting inside the printer.
