Cleaning the Printer56

„Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain sol-
vents, (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer.
„Always test any cleaning solution (such as mild detergent) on a small area
of your printer to check the solution's performance.
„Be careful when cleaning the inside or removing paper jams, as the fuser
assembly and other internal parts become very hot. Open the printer
cover, and let the interior of the printer cool before handling the inside of
the printer.
„Read all caution and warning labels carefully, making sure to follow any
instructions contained in them. These labels are located on the inside of
the printer’s covers and the interior of the printer body.
See Chapter 7, “Repacking the Printer,”
for printer storing and shipping
