Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year, following these steps:
1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect the network cable.
2. Remove all the paper from the sheet feeder.
3. Clean the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp cloth.
Keep the printer cover closed so water doesn’t get inside.
4. Clean out the printer’s interior with a soft, damp cloth.
Transporting the Printer
If you plan to transport your printer some distance, you’ll need
to repack it in its original box. Follow these steps:
1. Turn on the printer and wait until the print heads lock in
the far right position. Then turn off the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then
disconnect the network cable from the printer.
3. Remove the paper support and any paper from the printer.
4. Push in the output tray extensions and close the tray.
5. Remove any T-connector from the Ethernet card.
6. Repack the printer and attachments in the original box
using the protective materials that came with it. See the
Notice Sheet that was packed with the printer.
Be sure to keep the printer level as you transport it. If you
notice a decline in print quality after transporting the printer,
clean the print heads; if output is misaligned, align the print
heads. See the instructions in this chapter.
Caution:
Don’t touch the gears
inside the printer.
Never use alcohol or
thinner for cleaning; they
can damage the printer
components and case.
Don’t use a hard or
abrasive brush.
Don’t get water on the
printer components.
Don’t spray lubricants or
oils inside the printer.
Note:
If you move the printer
to a new network, you
need to initialize it and
reconfigure it for that
network.
Caution:
To avoid damage, always
leave the ink cartridges
installed when
transporting the printer.
