Cleaning the Scanner Glass
For good copies and scans, ensure the printer's scanner glass and lid backing are clean;
dust the exterior as needed.
1 Unplug the printer and raise the lid.
2 Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass
cleaner.
3 Dry the glass with a lint-free cloth.
4 When finished cleaning, plug in the printer.
Cleaning the Scanner Lid
Minor debris can accumulate on the document backing located underneath the scanner lid
of the Kodak printer.
1 Unplug the printer and raise the lid.
2 Clean the underside with a soft cloth or sponge, slightly moistened with a mild soap and
warm water.
3 Wipe the underside gently to loosen debris. Do not scrub.
4 Dry the underside with a chamois or soft cloth.
5 If further cleaning is needed, repeat the previous steps using isopropyl (rubbing)
alcohol, and wipe the underside thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any residual
alcohol.
6 When finished cleaning, plug in the printer.
Monitoring and Adjusting the Printer's Performance
From the Control Panel, you can perform many tasks to keep this printer in good working
order. For example, you can check the status of the printer’s inkjet nozzle to ensure high-
quality prints. Kodak recommends that you run a nozzle check if you are experiencing
changes in image quality. You can also use the
Printhead Alignment function if you see
degradation in print quality.
Warning: Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon
tetrachloride on the glass, as they can damage it. Do not place or spray
liquid directly on the glass. The liquid might seep under the glass and
damage the device.
Warning: Do not use paper-based wipes, as these might scratch the
underside of the scanner lid. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or
organic solvents on the printer or any of its parts.
