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. 01l CAUTION: l Never use alcohol or thinner to clean the printer; these chemicals can damage the components as well as the case. l Do not use a hard or abrasive brush. l Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants; unsuitable oils can damage the mechanism. Contact your dealer or a qualified service person if you think lubrication is needed. 5-2 Maintenance and Transportation
