Maintenance and Consumables iPF760 Cleaning Inside the Top Cover Cleaning the Printer Cleaning Inside the Top Cover ...39 Cleaning the Printhead ...41 Cleaning Inside the Top Cover Clean inside the Top Cover about once a month to maintain better printing quality and help prevent problems. Also clean inside the Top Cover in the following situations to ensure optimal operation. • If the printed surface or the underside of paper is dirty after printing • After you have used up a roll • After borderless printing • After printing on small paper • After printing on paper that generates a lot of cutting debris • If you have replaced the roll • After printing on paper that generates a lot of paper dust • After printing on adhesive paper • If the Platen inside the Top Cover becomes dirty, it may soil the underside of paper. We recommend cleaning the Plat- en after borderless printing or printing on small paper. Important • If the Ejection Guide is dirty, it may soil the edge of the paper when the paper is cut. We recommend cleaning the Ejection Guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with paper dust. • Printing on adhesive paper may leave adhesive on the Platen, Paper Retainer, or other parts. To prevent paper jams, we recommend cleaning inside the Top Cover after printing. 1 Open the Top Cover. Cleaning the Printer 39 Basic Guide
