Cleaning
Depending on the media used, the printer may accumulate
residues (media dust, adhesives, etc.) as a by-product of normal
printing. To maintain top printing quality, you should remove these
residues by cleaning the printer periodically.
Exterior
Clean the exterior surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth. If
necessary, use a mild detergent or desktop cleaning solution.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
Interior
Clean the interior of the printer by removing any dirt and lint with a
soft-bristled, non-metallic brush. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove
the residue.
General Cleaning

pressure air to remove dust in the printer. Use isopropyl alcohol and
a cotton swab to clean any areas where media dust, adhesives, etc.
have accumulated.
