Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it several times a
year.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and all its lights are off. Then unplug
the power cord and disconnect the printer from your system.
2. Open the roll paper cover and remove the roll paper. Remove any sheets
from the paper tray. Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum the paper
tray.
3. If the paper path accidentally gets soiled with ink, gently clean it with a
soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water.
4. If the outer case is dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with
mild detergent. Keep the ink cartridge compartment closed to prevent
water from getting inside.
Transporting or Storing the Printer
If you are moving the printer a short distance (for example, in the same
building), have at least two people lift the printer.
To ship the printer, you must repack it using the original box and packing
materials and secure it to a pallet. If you do not have these items, contact
Epson to purchase them. Otherwise, the printer may be damaged beyond
repair.
Caution: Be careful not
to touch the gears inside
the printer.
To avoid damaging the
components as well as
the case, never use
alcohol or thinners to
clean the printer.
Be careful not to get
water on the printer
mechanism or electronic
components.
Don’t use a hard or
abrasive brush.
Don’t spray the inside
of the printer with
lubricants; unsuitable
oils can damage the
mechanism. Contact
Epson if you think the
printer needs lubrication.
WARNING: The printer
weighs about 115 lb (52 kg)
(without ink), and should be
lifted by two people.
