Cleaning Printer
WARNING!
PRINTER IS A PRECISION MACHINE THAT SHOULD BE CLEANED REGULARLY TO INSURE MANY
YEARS OF SERVICE. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT PRINTER FROM
ITS POWER SOURCE! DO NOT REMOVE SIDE COVERS ON PRINTER!
Printer must be cleaned regularly of accumulated paper dust and ink. Depending on types of media that are run,
paper dust may accumulate within Printer and on Transport. Unplug from power source before cleaning.
• Internal Areas (Feed Table, Media Transport Area, Print Area): Best cleaned using a vacuum with a soft
brush attachment to help loosen and remove dust particles. Metal surfaces may be cleaned using a soft,
damp cloth. Lightly dampen cloth with water or any standard non-abrasive household cleaner that does
not contain plastic-harming solvents.
• Exterior Areas (Covers and Frame): May be cleaned with any standard non-abrasive household cleaner
that does not contain plastic-harming solvents.
CAUTION
NEVER SPRAY OR POUR CLEANERS DIRECTLY ON OR INTO THE PRINTER. EXCESS LIQUID COULD
HARM ELECTRONIC PARTS. ALWAYS DAMPEN A RAG WITH THE CLEANER AND APPLY IT TO
THE PARTS TO BE CLEANED.
Feed Rollers and Forwarding Rollers
Feed and Forwarding Rollers can become glazed with paper lint and ink from media. They should be regularly
cleaned with a mild abrasive household cleaner on a damp cloth. Avoid using solvents on Rubber Rollers.
Cleaning Media Sensor
Periodically check Media Sensor for dust and debris, (located under
Media Hold-down Wheel Assembly).
1. Use the Media Thickness Knob to raise the Printhead Carriage
Assembly to its highest setting.
2. Use canned or compressed air into the Media Sensor port [A]
and under the Media Sensor Reflector [B] to remove dust and
debris.
NOTE: If necessary, wipe the Reflector surface (under the
mounting plate) with a clean, lint-free cloth.
CAUTION: Compressed Air propellant can be flammable. Let printer sit, to ventilate for a few minutes, before
reconnecting power cord and switching Main Power Switch ON.
Cleaning Touchscreen
Carefully clean the Touchscreen by wiping with a lint-free cloth
and a non-abrasive cleaner made for Touchscreen on computers
and cell phones.
DO NOT spray cleaner directly on screen, spray on cloth, then
clean screen.
