EPSON Stylus C80 Cleaning the Printer To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it several times a year. Follow these steps: 1. Turn off the printer and wait for the Ppower light to go out. 2. Unplug the power cord and disconnect the printer cable. 3. Remove all the paper from the sheet feeder. 4. Clean the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp cloth. Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside. 5. If ink leaks inside the printer, carefully wipe it off with a damp cloth. If ink leaks inside, wipe here with a damp, lintfree cloth Don't touch the gears inside the printer. Make sure you use a soft cloth to clean the printer's lid; otherwise you may scratch it. Don't use a rough cloth, and never use a hard or abrasive brush to clean any part of the printer case. Never use alcohol or thinner for cleaning; they can damage the printer components and case. Don't get water on the printer components and don't spray lubricants or oils inside the printer. Don't use any cleaning sheets included with special paper; they may jam inside the printer. Transporting the Printer If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in its original box or one of a similar size. To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when transporting the printer. Be sure to remove the tape used in step 4 after installing the printer in its new location. 1. Turn on the printer, wait until the print head locks in the far right position, then turn off the printer. 2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect it from the printer 3.

Push in the output tray extensions and close the tray. 7. Repack the printer and attachments in the original box using the protective materials that came with them. See your Start Here sheet.
