Cleaning the Printer

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

1.Turn off the printer and close all of its covers. Then remove any paper as well as the paper guide. If you have installed the optional pull tractor, perforation cutter, or paper cutter, remove it.

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

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