1Using Your Printer
Basic Printer Maintenance
Because the printer ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will eventually appear on the printer case. To remove smudges, stains, and/or dried ink from the exterior of the printer, use a soft cloth moistened with water.
When cleaning your printer, keep these tips in mind:
•Do not clean the interior of the printer. Keep all fluids away from the interior.
•Do not use household cleaners or detergent. In the event that a household cleaner or detergent is used on the printer, wipe the printer’s exterior surfaces with a soft cloth moistened with water.
•Do not lubricate the rod on which the print cartridge cradle moves. Noise is normal when the cradles move back and forth.
For information on cleaning print cartridges and the print cartridge cradle, see “Cleaning Print Cartridges” on page 29.
