Cleaning the Printer Exterior
Cleaning the Printer Exterior
Clean the printer regularly to maintain better printing quality and help prevent problems.
About once a month, clean the printer exterior.
1
Turn the printer off. (See "Turning the Printer On and Off.")
2
Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Caution
•
Always turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning or maintenance. Accidentally leaving the print-
er on poses a risk of injury if you touch moving parts inside the printer.
3
Using a damp cloth that you have wrung out completely,
wipe the exterior surfaces of the printer. Dry the surfa-
ces with a dry cloth.
Warning
•
Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If these substances come into contact with elec-
trical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Important
•
If the Ejection Guide is dirty, it may soil the edge of the paper when the paper is cut. We recommend cleaning the
Ejection Guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with paper dust.

Plug the power cord into the outlet.
