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 the paper guide, pull tractor unit, and any installed options.

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

3.If the outer case or paper guide is dirty or dusty, clean it with a soft, clean 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.

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

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 or a qualified service person if lubrication is needed.
