HP Designjet Z6100 Printer series - Manual (Page 148)

Clean the exterior of the printer
Use a damp sponge or a soft cloth and a mild household cleaner such as non-abrasive liquid soap to
clean the outside of the printer and all other parts of the printer that you regularly touch as part of normal
operation (for example, ink cartridge drawer handles).
WARNING! To avoid an electric shock, make sure that the printer is turned OFF and unplugged
before you clean it. Do not let water get inside the printer.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the printer.
Clean the platen
You should clean your printer's platen every few months, or when necessary.
NOTE: If you print on wide paper after having printed on narrower paper, you might find that
the left side of the platen has become dirty. If this contaminated section of the platen is not cleaned,
it might leave marks on the back of the paper.
WARNING! Be careful not to damage the paper-advance sensor when cleaning the platen. The
sensor is the very small rectangular window (less than 1 square centimeter and shown in the
following graphic) found near the sixth platen roller from the right. See Clean the paper-advance
sensor window on page 138 .
Follow these instructions to clean the platen.
