Cleaning the Printer

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

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 feeders, if installed.

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, clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover in place and close the paper-guide cover to prevent water from getting inside the printer.

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

Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer; these chemicals can damage the components and 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.
