Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it
thoroughly several times a year.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off. Then remove any paper as
well as the paper guide and tractor unit. Also remove the
optional pull tractor and cut-sheet feeder or feeders, if installed.
2. Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt.
3. If the outer case or paper guide is dirty or dusty, clean it with a
soft, clean, well-wrung cloth dampened with mild detergent
dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover in place to prevent
water from getting inside the printer.
CAUTION:
l
Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer;
these chemicals can damage the components as well as
the case.
l
Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.
l
Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants;
unsuitable oils can damage the mechanism. Contact
your dealer if lubrication is needed.
WARNING: Be careful not to get water on the printer
mechanism or electronic components.
