Epson 4100 manual Cleaning, Interior Surfaces

Operator's Guide 91

•Wool, as well as many synthetic carpeting materials, are notorious for causing static electricity. If the site has carpeting, consider using an anti-static spray on the area surrounding the printer or place an anti- static mat under the printer stand. If you use an anti-static spray, do not spray the printer or the paper.

CLEANING

Warning ! Remember to turn off power and unplug the printer before cleaning interior or exterior surfaces.

INTERIOR SURFACES

Paper dust is inevitable. If desired, use a vacuum cleaner to remove paper dust from the area beneath the ribbon cartridge and printhead carriage. Prefer using a vacuum cleaner specially designed for electronic equipment. Avoid canned or compressed air, which can force dust and dirt into printer mechanisms.

Before you vacuum, remove the ribbon cartridge (Page 99). While you vacuum, move the printhead carriage from side to side to vacuum debris from under the carriage path. Do not force vacuum attachments into hard-to-reach places; and limit vacuuming to the area directly beneath the cartridge and carriage. Absolute cleanliness is not necessary.

Never use a liquid cleaner—including soap and water—inside the printer.
