regularly to keep the best printing condition and use your machine longer.
Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or
other strong substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.
If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend you use cloth or tissue
dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful to
you.
Cleaning the outside
Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let
any water drip onto or into the machine.
Printing a cleaning sheet (Dell 1130n only)

provided by your machine.
To print the cleaning sheet:
