Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year.
1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect the USB cable.
2. Remove all the paper, then use a soft brush to clean the
sheet feeder.
3. If the outer case or inside of the sheet feeder is dirty, clean it
with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the
printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside.
4. If ink accidentally gets inside of the printer, wipe it off with
a damp cloth in the area shown.
Warning: Don’t touch the gears or any other parts inside the
printer.
Caution: Never use a hard or abrasive brush, or benzine, alcohol, or
paint thinner for cleaning; they can damage the printer components
and case.
Don’t get water on the printer components and don’t spray or apply
lubricants, oils or grease inside the printer.
Don’t use any cleaning sheets included with special paper; they
may jam inside the printer.
