Cleaning The Printer - Epson FX-870 User Manual

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 and unplug the printer's
power cord. Then remove the paper guide, tractor unit, and the
cut-sheet feeder, if one is installed.
2. Use a soft brush to carefully clear away all dust and dirt.
3. If the outer case or paper guide is dirty or dusty, clean it with a
soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent. Keep the
printer cover in place to prevent water from getting inside the
printer.
WARNING: Be careful not to get water on the printer
mechanism or electronic components.
