Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it 
thoroughly several times a year.
Follow these steps to clean the printer:
1. Turn off the printer and remove any paper loaded in the 
printer as well as the paper guide.
2. Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt from 
the outer case and the paper guide.
3. If the outer case and the paper guide are still dirty or dusty, 
clean them with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild 
detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover closed to 
prevent water from getting inside the printer.

Caution:
❏ Never use alcohol or thinners to clean the printer; these 
chemicals can damage the printer components as well as the 
case.
❏ Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or 
electronic components.
❏ Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.
❏ Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants; 
unsuitable oils can damage the printer mechanism. Contact 
your EPSON dealer if you think lubrication is needed.
