Phaser 480X Color Printer
Important
When you clean the Phaser 480X, always remember the following:
Cooling time
After the last print has been made, wait 5 minutes for the thermal head
to cool.
A clean, dust-free area
When removing the paper from the paper tray and the transfer roll tray from
the printer, always set them aside on a clean, dust-free surface.
High-grade isopropyl alcohol
It is best to use the purest isopropyl alcohol available to you
(90-99% pure). It can be purchased at your local pharmacy
(shipping regulations prohibit supplying alcohol with the printer).
Pour isopropyl alcohol from its container into the plastic bottle
supplied in the cleaning kit.
Caution
Never use rubbing alcohol because it can contain oils that leave
undesirable residue on the printer parts.
Drying time
Make sure to leave enough time for the printer to dry (generally 5 minutes)
before making a print.
Careful handling
Avoid touching the rollers with your Þngers; oil from your hands can
contaminate the rollers and cause printing problems.
