Cleaning and Adjusting the Printer

Cleaning the Friction Pad

If the friction pad becomes dirty, mis- feeds or multi-feeds of paper might occur. In this case, clean the pad as follows:

A Slide the paper tray out until it stops. After that, lift it slightly, then pull it out of the printer. Then remove the paper from the paper tray.

B Clean the friction pad with a soft damp cloth. After wiping it with a damp cloth, wipe it with a dry cloth to remove the water.

6Important

❒Do not use chemical cleaners or organic solvents such as thinner or benzene.

C Load paper with the print side up into the paper tray. While lifting the front side of the tray, insert the paper tray into the printer. Then push in until it stops.
