cleaning fluid). Any of these can mar the ImageWriter II’s finish.
Cleaning the Inside of Your ImageWriter II,Service
It’s a good idea to clean the inside of your ImageWriter II once a month, mainly to remove paper dust and
bits of paper. The ImageWriter II does not need lubrication thanks to special materials in the print
mechanism.
To clean the inside of your ImageWriter II, you should have either a soft, clean brush or small can of
compressed air. You could also use a clean, lint-free cloth. Here’s how to do it:
Turn off the printer and remove the front cover.
Remove the ribbon cartridge by gently bending aside either of the support tabs and popping out the
cartridge.
Brush or blow away any dust that may have accumulated.
If the carrier rod is dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Clean up any other dirt you might find.
Replace the ribbon cartridge and front cover.
You’re ready to print again.
