Maintaining the printer

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

Cleaning the exterior of the printer

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

CAUTION: 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 paper support and paper exit tray.

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

Warning: 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 paper exit tray.

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

5Make sure the paper support and paper exit tray are dry before beginning a new print job.
