This section describes how to clean the printer and remove the
ribbon cartridge.
Cleaning the Printer
Before you clean the printer:
1
Turn the printer Off.
2
Unplug the power cord.
3
Wait until the printhead is cool.
Cleaning the inside of the Printer: Every few months, use a soft
brush and a vacuum to remove dust, ribbon lint, and pieces of
paper. Remove the ribbon cartridge to prevent the ribbon from
going into the vacuum. Vacuum any dust from around the
printhead and in the printer cavity.
Cleaning the Cover: Clean the outside of the printer with a damp
cloth and mild soap. Do not use any spray-type or chemical
cleaners anywhere on your printer. Do not put any liquids or spray
near the air vents. For stubborn ink stains on the cover, use a
commercial mechanic's hand cleaner.
