Using Your Printer

•
To remove stains, smudges and/or dried ink from the exterior of the printer, use
a soft cloth moistened with water. Do not use household cleaners or detergent.
In the event that a household cleaner or detergent is used on the printer, wipe
the printer’s exterior surfaces with a soft cloth moistened with water.
•
Do not lubricate the rod on which the print cartridge cradles move. Noise is
normal when the cradles move back and forth.
For information on cleaning print cartridges and the print cartridge cradle, see
“Cleaning Print Cartridges” on page 33.
For maximum performance and reliability, the printer should be handled and
stored in an upright, level position.
