Follow these steps: 1. Turn off the printer and wait for the green Ppower light to go out. 2. Unplug the power cord and disconnect the printer cable. 3. Remove all the paper, then use a soft brush to clean the sheet feeder. 4. If the outer case or the 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. 10/02 EPSON Stylus Photo 960 - 9
