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. Remove any paper loaded in the printer, and turn off the
printer.
2. If the optional roll paper holder and rear paper guide are
installed, remove them.
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 and the paper guide are still dirty or dusty,
cleanthemwithasoft,cleanclothdampenedwithmild
detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover closed to
prevent water from getting inside the printer and be careful
nottogetwaterinthefrontslot.

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.
