Cleaning the Cabinet
Note
Before cleaning the printer, be sure to turn off the power
and disconnect the power cord.
When the cabinet becomes dirty
When solvents such as benzene or thinner, or acid,
alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloths are used on the printer surface, the surface finish
may be damaged. Take care with respect to the
following:
• Clean the printer surface with a 50 to 70 v/v%
concentration of isopropyl alcohol or a 76.9 to
81.4 v/v% concentration of ethanol.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth lightly dampened with mild
detergent solution and then cleaned using the above
chemical.
• Do not use unnecessary force to rub the printer surface
with a stained cloth. The printer surface may be
scratched.
• Do not keep the printer surface in contact with a
rubber or vinyl resin product for a long period of time.
The surface finish may deteriorate or the coating may
come off.
