Basic Printer Maintenance, Cleaning Print Cartridges

Page 10 highlights

1 Using Your Printer Basic Printer Maintenance Because the printer ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will eventually appear on the printer case. To remove smudges, stains, and/or dried ink from the exterior of the printer, use a soft cloth moistened with water. When cleaning your printer, keep these tips in mind: • Do not clean the interior of the printer. Keep all fluids away from the interior. • Do not use household cleaners or detergent. In the event that a household cleaner or detergent is used on the printer, wipe the printer's exterior surfaces with a soft cloth moistened with water. • Do not lubricate the rod on which the print cartridge cradle moves. Noise is normal when the cradles move back and forth. For information on cleaning print cartridges and the print cartridge cradle, see "Cleaning Print Cartridges" on page 29. 3

Basic Printer Maintenance
Because the printer ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will
eventually appear on the printer case. To remove smudges, stains, and/or dried
ink from the exterior of the printer, use a soft cloth moistened with water.
When cleaning your printer, keep these tips in mind:
Do not
clean the interior of the printer. Keep all fluids away from the interior.
Do not
use household cleaners or detergent. In the event that a household
cleaner or detergent is used on the printer, wipe the printer’s exterior surfaces
with a soft cloth moistened with water.
Do not
lubricate the rod on which the print cartridge cradle moves. Noise is
normal when the cradles move back and forth.
