Cleaning
Monthly cleaning is necessary to keep the printer in good condition. This section describes how to
clean each part of the printer.
CAUTION:
• Never disconnect the printer’s power cable(s) from the building’s electrical outlet without first
pressing the [Power] key to turn the printer OFF. Doing so can cause the printer to misread how
much ink is still in the cartridges. It may indicate a cartridge is empty when it is not. If this happens,
there is no option but to replace the cartridge. This can lead to dramatic waste of ink.
WARNINGS:
• Do not insert or drop metal or flammable objects into the printer through openings such as a fresh
air inlet. Doing so could lead to an electric shock or fire.
• If foreign substances or liquids such as water enter the printer, do not use the printer. It could lead
to an electric shock or fire. Immediately press the [Power] key to turn the printer OFF, disconnect
the power cables from the electric outlet, and contact your local Xerox dealer.
CAUTIONS:
• When cleaning the printer, be sure to first
press the [Power] key to turn the printer OFF and then
disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet.
• Do not use volatile solvents such as thinner, benzene, or alcohol. These solvents could cause
damage to the paint.
• Be careful that no moisture enters the printer. There is a possibility that the electric circuit inside
the printer could cause a short circuit.
WARNING:
• Do not, under any circumstances, open covers attached using screws. This may cause an electric
shock or a malfunction.
Cleaning the Outer Case
To clean the outer case of the printer, wipe off dust and dirt by using a soft cloth.
