Cleaning the printer
The exterior of the printer can be cleaned by carefully wiping the outside of the unit with a soft
cloth, lightly moistened with cool water. A mild soap or detergent may be used to clean stains
from the outside of the unit. Do not use ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners, as these may
damage the printer.
After removing a jam or replacing the toner cartridge, check the inside of the printer and wipe
off any paper or toner dust from the inside of the unit using a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any
liquids inside the printer.
Caution: The fusing unit becomes very hot during operation. Power the printer Off and wait 30
minutes for the unit to cool down before attempting any cleaning or maintenance around the
fusing unit.
Transporting the printer
The Elite 21 printer should always be packed in its original shipping carton to minimize the risk
of damage during shipping. Replacement shipping cartons are available through GCC if
needed.
The Elite 21 printer should be prepared for transportation as follows:
• Remove the power cord, interface cable(s) and optional feeders from the unit.
• Remove the toner cartridge. Place the cartridge in a plastic bag and place it in a separate
shipping box. Toner spillage during shipment can cause permanent damage to the printer.
• Replace the orange spacers that hold the BTR into place during shipping (see Chapter 1,
“Hardware Setup” for details).
• Wrap the printer in its original plastic bag.
• Place the printer into the styrofoam cutouts in the bottom of the shipping container.
• Place the power cord and interface cables.into the box next to the printer.
• Place the top styrofoam cutouts on top of the printer.
• Lower the top portion of the box over the printer so that the slots in the side of the top match
up with the slots in the sides of the bottom of the box.
• Place the four plastic tabs that secure the top of the box to the bottom of the box into their
slots.
• Package any accessories separately, in their original shipping cartons.
