Cleaning the Printer
If you have not used your printer for a long time
To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it thoroughly several times a year.
|
Remove any sheet media from the printer.
|
|
Make sure the printer is turned off and all the lights are off. Then unplug the power cord.
|
|
Make sure that the ink cartridge compartment is closed.
|
|
Use a soft brush to carefully clean away any dust or dirt outside the printer.
|
|
If the outer case is dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the ink cartridge compartment closed to prevent water from getting inside.
|
|
If the inside of the printer accidentally gets soiled with ink, wipe it off with a damp cloth.
|
|
Warning:
|
|
Be careful not to touch the gears inside the printer.
|
|
Caution:
|
| -
Never use alcohol or thinners to clean the printer; these chemicals can damage the components as well as the case.
|
| -
Be careful not to get water on 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 oils can damage the mechanism. Contact your dealer or a qualified service person if lubrication is needed.
|
If you have not used your printer for a long time
If you have not used your printer for a long time, the print head nozzles may be clogged. Perform a nozzle check and clean the print head. See Nozzle check and printer settings.
|
Caution:
|
|
Even if you will not use your printer for a long time, leave the ink cartridges installed; otherwise, the print head nozzles may become clogged.
