Cleaning the printer
Before you clean the printer:
1 Turn the printer Off.
2 Unplug the power cord.

Cleaning the inside of the printer:
Every few months, use a soft brush and a vacuum to
remove dust, ribbon lint, and pieces of paper. Vacuum
any dust from around the printhead and in the printer
cavity.
Cleaning the cover:
Clean the outside of the printer with a damp cloth and
mild soap. Do not use any spray-type or chemical
cleaners anywhere on your printer. Do not put any
liquids or spray near the air vents. For stubborn ink
stains on the cover, use a commercial mechanic's hand
cleaner.
