3.If the outer case is 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.
Caution:
Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer. These chemicals can damage the printer 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 Epson dealer if you think lubrication is needed.

1.Press the PAUSE button. Then turn off the printer.
2.Open the printer’s top cover and slide the print head to the exposed part of the paper bail.
