Epson Stylus C88 Cleaning the Printer To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it several times a year. 1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect the cable. 2. Remove all the paper, then use a soft brush to clean the sheet feeder. 3. If the outer case or 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. 4. If ink accidentally gets inside the printer, wipe off the rollers shown below with a damp cloth. Clean here Warning: Don't touch the gears or any other parts inside the printer.
