4Caring for Your Printer

Using isopropyl alcohol

In general, it is best to use the purest isopropyl alcohol (99%) available to you. You can use 90% pure isopropyl alcohol, but if you do, you must wait after cleaning to make sure that printer parts are completely dry. 99% isopropyl alcohol dries quickly; 90% isopropyl alcohol may take several minutes to dry.

Caution Do not use rubbing alcohol because it can contain water and oils that leave undesirable residue on the printer parts. Never use water to clean the printer’s internal components. Failure to follow these instructions may invalidate your printer’s warranty.

Whenever the cleaning instructions refer to a lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol (A), you can substitute a pre-soaked alcohol cloth (B). When the cleaning instructions direct you to use an alcohol-soaked swab, you can use the extra alcohol in a pre-soaked alcohol cloth packet to moisten the

swab (C).

Warning Alcohol is flammable; keep alcohol-soaked cloths and swabs away from hot surfaces.

The reorder cleaning kit (order number 016-1341-00) includes these pre-soaked alcohol cloth packets.
