7Caring For Your Printer

Cleaning the printer

You need to clean the printer when the following occur:

■Frequent media jams.

■Prints are striped or smeared.

How often you need to clean the printer will depend on how heavily the printer is used and the environment in which it is used.

To determine an approximate maintenance schedule: Record the date of your Þrst two cleanings, and then divide the elapsed time in half. If your Þrst cleaning was in June, for example, and the second one was in December, then clean the printer about every 2 Ð 3 months for preventive maintenance.

Using the front panel: Some cleaning procedures are executed through the printerÕs front panel. Front panel messages guide you through the steps of the procedures and on how to print cleaning instructions.
