Maintenance and Troubleshooting
This chapter explains how to clean and transport the printer,
and provides basic troubleshooting information.
Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it
thoroughly several times a year. Follow these steps:
1. Remove any paper loaded in the printer and turn it off.
2. Remove the paper guide. If a pull tractor or an optional cut-
sheet feeder is installed, remove it.
3. Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt
from the outer case and paper guide.
4. If the outer case or paper guide is still dirty or dusty, clean
them with a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild
detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover in place
and lower it until it lies flat on the top of the printer to
prevent water from getting inside the printer.
