4Caring for Your Printer
Using isopropyl alcohol
You must supply isopropyl alcohol (available at pharmacies) because shipping regulations prohibit supplying alcohol or presoaked cleaning materials with the printer.
In general, it is best to use the purest isopropyl alcohol (99%) available to you. Alcohol that is 90% pure also works well. You can use 70% pure isopropyl alcohol, but if you do, you must wait much longer after cleaning to ensure that it is completely dry. For example, 99% isopropyl alcohol might dry in as quickly as one minute; 70% isopropyl alcohol can take as long as 15 minutes.
Caution Do not use rubbing alcohol because it can contain oils that leave undesirable residue on the printer parts.
