The exterior surfaces of the printer may be cleaned with a lint free cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents! If necessary, a mild detergent solution or desktop cleaner may be used sparingly.
Cleaning the Interior
Remove any accumulated dirt and lint from the interior of the printer using a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner. This area should be inspected after every roll of ribbon.
