How should I maintain the printer?

Printer exterior cleaning:

Clean the printer exterior as follows:

 

  1. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord.

     

  2. Remove the Paper Cassette from the printer.

     

  3. Wipe the printer body with a soft cloth to remove dust. Dip the cloth in water and wring it out thoroughly for cleaning.

    • Use water for cleaning. Cleaning with volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine will damage the surface of the printer.
    • DO NOT use cleaning materials that contain ammonia. They could damage the printer, particularly the toner cartridges.

  4. Clean the Paper Guide with a dry soft cloth. If paper and foreign objects are stuck in the Paper Cassette, remove them.

     

  5. Install the Paper Cassette into the printer.

     

  6. Plug the power cord into the AC outlet, and then turn on the printer.
