Maintainingtheprinter

Periodically, certain tasks are required to maintain optimum print quality.

Storing supplies

Choose a cool, clean storage area for the printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packing until you are ready to use them.

Do not expose supplies to:

Direct sunlight

Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)

High humidity above 80%

Salty air

Corrosive gases

Heavy dust

Cleaning the printer

If print quality problems such as streaking occur, follow these cleaning procedures.

Warning—Potential Damage: Do not put water directly on the printer or use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents, such as paint thinner, on the printer.

Cleaning the exterior of the printer

1Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the wall outlet.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electric shock, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect all cables to the printer before proceeding.

2Remove paper from the standard exit bin.

3Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with water.

Warning—Potential Damage: Do not use household cleaners or detergents, as they may damage the finish of the printer.

4Wipe only the outside of the printer, making sure to remove any ink residue that has accumulated on the standard exit bin.

Warning—Potential Damage: Using a damp cloth to clean the interior may cause damage to your printer.

5Make sure the standard exit bin is dry before beginning a new print job.
