Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year.
1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect the cable.
2. Remove all the paper, then use a soft brush to clean the
sheet feeder.
3. If the outer case or inside of the sheet feeder is dirty, clean it
with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the
printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside.
4. If ink accidentally gets inside the printer, wipe off the rollers
shown below with a damp cloth.
Warning: Don’t touch the gears or any other parts inside the printer.
Caution: Never use a hard or abrasive brush, or benzine, alcohol, or
paint thinner for cleaning; they can damage the printer components
and case. Don’t get water on the printer components and don’t spray
lubricants or oils inside the printer.
Transporting the Printer
If you need to transport your printer some distance, carefully
prepare and repack it as described below. Use the original box
and packing materials, or a similar box that holds the printer
securely.
Caution: When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand
it vertically, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may leak from the
cartridges. Be sure to leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the
cartridges can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the printer
from printing.
1. Plug in the printer and turn it on. Wait until the print head
returns to the home position, then close the printer cover.
2. Turn off the printer, then unplug its power cord and
disconnect it from the printer.
3. Disconnect the interface cable.
4. Remove all paper from the sheet feeder and remove the
paper support.
5. Secure the ink cartridge holder with tape, as shown below,
then close the printer cover and output tray.
6. Attach the protective materials to both sides of the printer.
7. Repack the printer, paper support, and power cord in the
original box.
Note: Keep the printer level during transport and be sure to remove
the protective materials and tape before using the printer again.
