Maintaining Your Printer

Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it several times a year.
Follow these steps:

1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect the printer cable.

2. Remove all paper, then use a soft brush

to clean any dust or dirt from the sheet
feeder.

3. Clean the exterior of the printer with a

soft, damp cloth.

4. Clean ink out of the printer’s interior

with a soft, damp cloth. Clean the areas
shown here:

Warning: Don’t touch the gears inside
the printer.

Caution: Be careful not to wipe the metal carriage shaft.

Never use a hard or abrasive brush, or alcohol or thinner for cleaning; they can
damage the printer components and case.

Don’t get water on the printer components and don’t spray lubricants or oils
inside the printer.

Don’t use any cleaning sheets included with special paper; they may jam inside
the printer.
