Cleaning Your Printer

The printer needs only minimal cleaning. If printing problems occur (print is too light, white stripes appear, or nothing prints), see Chapter 7, Troubleshooting. This section describes cleaning the printer case.

Cleaning the printer case

If the printer’s outer case is dirty or dusty, first turn off the printer; then clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent, as shown below.

CAUTION:

Never use alcohol or thinner to clean the printer case; these chemicals can damage the components as well as the case.

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