Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it thoroughly
several times a year.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and all the lights on the control panel
are off. Then unplug the power cord.
2. Open the roll paper cover and remove the roll paper spindle. Remove
any paper or other media from the printer.
3. Make sure the ink cartridge compartment is closed. Then use a soft
brush to carefully clean away any dust or dirt.
4. Open the lower cover and use a soft brush to carefully clean away any
dust or dirt inside the lower cover. Then close the cover.
5. If you’re using the printer stand, first remove the paper hammock. Then
clean away any dust or dirt around the stand using a soft brush.
6. If the outer case is dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with
mild detergent. Keep the ink cartridge compartment closed to prevent
water from getting inside.
7. If the area under the roll paper cover accidentally gets soiled with ink,
wipe it off with a damp cloth.
8. To wash the paper hammock, remove the shafts, then machine wash
with mild detergent and air dry.
