Cleaning the Printer Exterior

Turning the Printer On and Off
2. Unplug power cord from outlet. 2.
Caution
• Always turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning or maintenance.
Accidentally leaving the printer on poses a risk of injury if you touch moving parts inside the
printer.
3. Wring out soft cloth with water or watered-down neutral detergent, and use it to wipe off dirt. 3.
Clean the printer exterior and the power cord plug.
Warning
• Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner. If these substances come into
contact with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Important
• If the output guide is dirty, it may soil the edge of the paper when the paper is cut. We recommend •
cleaning the output guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with
paper dust.
Cleaning Inside the Top Cover
• Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, rough-textured cloth, or similar materials for cleaning so as
not to scratch the surface.
• When neutral detergent is used, be sure to wipe off the detergent with soft cloth with water.
4. After cleaning, dry with a soft dry cloth. 4.
5. Plug power cord into outlet. 5.
