Clean the Housing You should clean the inside of the printer every six months (or after about 300 hours of operation). Note If you are consistently using recycled paper, you need to clean the housing more often because recycled paper generates more paper dust. Caution! Never use solvents or strong detergents on the cabinet: they could damage the housing. 1. Turn the printer off and remove any paper that is loaded. 2. Open the platform and use a clean, dry cloth to clean away any bits of paper and paper dust. F5-03b.JPG 3. Close the platform. 4. Open the cover. 5. Tilt the display panel forward and remove the ribbon cartridge. F2_18a.JPG 6. Use a clean, dry cloth to clean any bits of paper or paper dust from around the platen.
