1Unplug the printer and raise the lid.

2Clean the underside with a soft cloth or sponge, slightly moistened with a mild soap and warm water.

3Wipe the underside gently to loosen debris. Do not scrub.

4Dry the underside with a chamois or soft cloth.

5If further cleaning is needed, repeat the previous steps using isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and wipe the underside thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any residual alcohol.

6When finished cleaning, plug in the printer.

Monitoring and adjusting the printer's performance

Kodak recommends that you run a nozzle check if you are experiencing changes in image quality. You can also use the Printhead Alignment function if you see degradation in print quality.
