Cleaning Printer Surfaces
To keep your printer looking new, you
should periodically clean its surfaces with
glass cleaner (Windex
®
or equivalent), 91%
isopropyl alcohol, or a mild dishwashing
detergent (Lux
®
or equivalent).
To clean the printer surfaces, use the
following procedure:
1. Turn off the printer and detach the
power cord.
2. Using a soft brush or lint-free cloth, dust
all of the exterior surfaces, as shown in
figure 5-6. Be sure the cloth is free of
grit or other matter.
3. Using a cloth lightly moistened with glass
cleaner, 91% isopropyl alcohol, or a mild
dishwashing detergent, wipe and clean
the platen window.
4. Raise the top cover. Using a soft brush
or vacuum, remove all paper fibers, dust
and foreign matter from inside the
printer. Then, lower the top cover.
5. Using a soft brush or vacuum, remove
all paper fibers, dust, and foreign matter
from the rear forms tractors, as shown
in figure 5-7.
