Cleaning
WARNING!
THE PRINTER IS A PRECISION MACHINE. CLEAN REGULARLY TO INSURE
MANY YEARS OF SERVICE. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE,
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM ITS POWER SOURCE!
DO NOT REMOVE SIDE COVERS! HIGH VOLTAGES PRESENT.
Clean the Printer regularly to remove accumulated paper dust and ink. Depending on the types of media
that are run, paper dust may accumulate inside the Printer and on the Transport.
1. Turn the Printer OFF and unplug it from the power receptacle. Then open or remove the Covers.
2. Interior: Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment or a can of compressed air to help loosen
dust particles. NOTE: Be careful around ink tray and capping station in the Print Engine area
as accumulated ink may splash onto other parts of the printer. Take care not to damage the PC
Boards or electrical wiring.
3. Exterior: Wipe clean with a lint-free cloth using any standard nonabrasive household cleaner that
does not contain plastic-harming solvents.
CAUTION
NEVER SPRAY OR POUR CLEANERS DIRECTLY ON OR INTO THE PRINTER.
EXCESS LIQUID COULD HARM ELECTRONIC PARTS. DAMPEN A LINT-FREE
CLOTH WITH THE CLEANER AND APPLY IT TO THE PARTS TO BE CLEANED.
Feed Rollers and Forwarding Rollers
The Feed and Forwarding Rollers can become glazed with paper lint and ink from the media. They should
be regularly cleaned with a mild abrasive household cleaner on a damp lint-free cloth.
NOTE: Avoid using solvents on the Rubber Rollers.
