Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer working its best, you should clean it thoroughly several
times a year.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and all the lights on the control panel
are off. Then unplug the power cord and disconnect the printer from
the computer.
2. Open the roll paper cover and remove the roll paper. Remove any sheet
media from the printer. Then use a soft brush to carefully clean away
any dust or dirt.
3. Close the roll paper cover.
4. Open the lower cover and use a soft brush to carefully clean away any
dust or dirt inside the lower cover. Then close the cover.
5. Remove the paper basket. Then clean away any dust or dirt around the
leg assembly using a soft brush.
6. If the outer case is dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with
mild detergent. Keep the ink cartridge compartment closed to prevent
water from getting inside.
7. If the area under the roll paper cover accidentally gets soiled with ink,
wipe it off with a damp cloth.
8. To wash the paper basket, remove the shafts, then machine wash with
mild detergent and air dry.
