6 Maintaining the printer
Clean the exterior of the printer
Clean the outside of the printer and all other parts of the printer that you regularly touch as part of normal
operation with a damp sponge or a soft cloth and a mild household cleaner such as non-abrasive liquid
soap.
WARNING! To avoid an electric shock, make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged
before you clean it. Do not let water get inside the printer.
CAUTION Do not use abrasive cleaners on the printer.
Maintain the ink cartridges
During the normal lifetime of a cartridge, no specific maintenance is required. However, in order to maintain
the best print quality, replace a cartridge when it reaches its expiration date. The printer's front panel notifies
you when any cartridge reaches its expiration date.
You can also check a cartridge's expiration date at any time: see Using your printer on DVD.

Update the firmware

firmware.

printer's functionality and enhance its features.

Update.
