6.3 Cleaning
Monthly cleaning is necessary to keep the printer in good condition. This section describes how to clean
each part of the printer.
• Never disconnect the printer’s power cable(s) from the building’s electrical outlet
without first
pressing the [Power] key to turn the printer OFF. Doing so can cause
the printer to misread how much ink is still in the cartridges. It may indicate a
cartridge is empty when it is not. If this happens, there is no option but to replace
the cartridge. This can lead to dramatic waste of ink.
• Do not insert or drop metal or flammable objects into the printer through openings
such as a fresh air inlet. Doing so could lead to an electric shock or fire.
• If foreign substances or liquids such as water enter the printer, do not use the printer.
It could lead to an electric shock or fire. Immediately press the [Power] key to turn the
printer OFF, disconnect the power cables from the electric outlet, and contact your
local XEROX dealer.
• When cleaning the printer, be sure to first press the [Power] key to turn the printer

circuit inside the printer could be short circuited.

cause an electric shock or a malfunction.
