Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it thoroughly several times a year.
Follow these steps to clean your printer:
Turn off the printer and remove any paper loaded in the printer.
If the optional roll paper holder and rear paper guide are installed, remove them.
Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt from the outer case and paper guide.
If the outer case or paper guide is still dirty or dusty, clean them with a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside the printer and be careful not to get water in the front slot.
Caution:
Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer; these chemicals can damage the printer components as well as the case.
Be careful not to get water onto the printer mechanism or electronic components.
Do not use a hard or abrasive brush.
Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants; unsuitable lubricants can damage the printer mechanism. Contact an Epson dealer if you think lubrication is needed.
