Using isopropyl alcohol
Some of the cleaning procedures require isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Use the
purest IPA (99%) available. You can use 90% pure IPA, but if you do, you
must wait after cleaning to make sure that the printer parts are completely
dry. Ninety-nine percent IPA dries quickly; 90% IPA may take several
minutes to dry.
Caution
Rubbing alcohol may contain oils that leave undesirable
residue on printer parts. Carefully read the label on the
container. If the rubbing alcohol contains only isopropyl
alcohol and deionized water, it is safe to use. To avoid harming
the printer’s internal components, never use water only to
clean them.
Whenever the cleaning instructions refer to a lint-free cloth moistened with
isopropyl alcohol (
A
), you can substitute a presoaked alcohol cloth (
B
). When the
cleaning instructions direct you to use an alcohol-soaked swab, you can use
the extra alcohol in a presoaked alcohol cloth packet to moisten the swab (
C
).
Warning
Alcohol is flammable; keep alcohol-soaked cloths and swabs
away from hot surfaces.
To order presoaked alcohol cloth wipes, refer to ÒPrinter suppliesÓ on
page 10-2.
