4-6 Printer maintenance and storage
Periodic cleaning
To assure the best quality printing, you should clean the cartridges and service station daily for
heavy use and once a week for moderate use. In addition, you should wipe any areas of the
printer exposed to ink and the slide shaft using a lint-free cloth moistened with water.
Note: Do not lubricate the print shaft! Keep it clean using a clean cloth and rubbing alcohol.
The table that follows identifies periodic cleaning which you can perform to keep your printer in
