TO INSURE MANY YEARS OF SERVICE. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT PRINTER FROM ITS POWER SOURCE!
Printer must be cleaned regularly of accumulated paper dust and ink. Depending on types of media that are run,
paper dust may accumulate within Printer and on Transport. To properly clean Printer, unplug it from the power
receptacle and remove covers.
 Internal Areas: Best cleaned using a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to help loosen dust particles.
Take care not to damage PC Boards or electrical wiring.

plastic-harming solvents.
CAUTION
NEVER SPRAY OR POUR CLEANERS DIRECTLY ON OR INTO THE PRINTER.
EXCESS LIQUID COULD HARM ELECTRONIC PARTS. ALWAYS DAMPEN A RAG
