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 print-
er on poses a risk of injury if you touch moving parts inside the printer.
3
Using a damp cloth that you have wrung out complete-
ly, wipe away any dirt or paper dust from the Paper
Feed Slot (a), power cord plug, and so on. Dry these
parts 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 cleaning the
Ejection Guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with paper dust.
