Maintaining Your Printer

Your printer requires little maintenance. However, Kodak recommends cleaning the scanner glass and lid regularly to remove dust and fingerprints, which affect the quality and accuracy of scanning and copying.

Except while cleaning the printer, keep the printer plugged into an AC power outlet. If you use a power strip, don't turn off the power strip. (The printer does not necessarily have to be turned on, but should be plugged in.)

Keep the printhead and ink cartridges in the printer at all times to help prevent damage to the printhead.

For recycling and/or disposal information, contact your local authorities. In the US, go to the Electronics Industry Alliance at www.eia.org or go to www.kodak.com/go/recycle.

Do not place objects on the printer.

Keep the paper trays free of dust, dirt, and other foreign objects.

Keep the printer supplies away from direct sunlight and out of high-temperature environments.
