THE PRINTER IS A PRECISION MACHINE THAT SHOULD BE CLEANED
REGULARLY TO INSURE MANY YEARS OF SERVICE.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM
ITS POWER SOURCE!

Clean the Printer regularly to remove accumulated paper dust and ink. Depending on the types of media
that are run, paper dust may accumulate inside the printer and on the transport.
1. If the printer is on; press the ON/OFF button to power-down the print engine. Wait about 45
seconds until the system shuts down (all control panel lights will go off). Turn off the Main Power
Switch and unplug the printer from the power receptacle.
2. Unplug the power cable from the printer.
3. Interior: Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to help loosen dust particles. Take care not to
damage the PC Boards or electrical wiring.
4. Exterior: Wipe clean with a lint-free cloth using any standard nonabrasive household cleaner that
does not contain plastic harming solvents.
