Cleaning the Printer Exterior
Clean the printer regularly to maintain better printing quality and help prevent problems.
About once a month, clean the printer exterior.
1
Turn the printer off. (See "Turning the Printer On and Off.") ➔P.17
2
Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Caution
•
Always turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning or maintenance. Accidentally leaving
the printer on poses a risk of injury if you touch moving parts inside the printer.
3
Using a damp cloth that you have wrung out completely,
wipe the exterior surfaces of the printer. Dry the surfaces
with a dry cloth.
Warning
•
Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If these substances come into contact
with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Important
•
If the Ejection Guide is dirty, it may soil the edge of the paper when the paper is cut. We recommend clean-
ing the Ejection Guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with paper dust.
