Cleaning the Printer

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

1.Make sure the printer is turned off. Then remove any paper as well as the paper guide and tractor unit. Also remove the optional pull tractor and cut-sheet feeder or feeders, if installed.

2.Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt.

3.If the outer case or paper guide is dirty or dusty, clean it with a soft, clean, well-wrung cloth dampened with mild detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover in place to prevent water from getting inside the printer.

CAUTION:

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

•

•

Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.

Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants; unsuitable oils can damage the mechanism. Contact your dealer if lubrication is needed.

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