Cleaning the Printer
Operator’s Guide18
Perform these general cleaning
procedures on a regular basis to keep
the printer operating properly. During
normal printer operation, dust, dirt,
toner, and paper chaff will accumulate.
However, excess accumulation can
affect printer operation and print quality.
warning
To
prevent possible injury to yourself or
damage to the printer
, make sure the
printer is turned off and disconnected
from the power source during the
cleaning process.
caution
Strong cleaners, such as isopropyl
alcohol, ethanol, and methanol, can
cause cracks after prolonged use and
are not suggested.
To clean the exterior surface of the
printer, use water or a mild cleaning
agent (such as dishwashing soap) and a
soft cloth to wipe the surfaces clean.
Always apply the cleaning agent to the
cloth; never pour the cleaning agent
directly onto the printer.
