Cleaning the outside of the printer
Cleaning the paper path rollers
The printer needs only minimal cleaning. If you notice a paper-feeding problem and there is no problem with your paper, you may be able to alleviate the problem by cleaning the paper path rollers as described in this section.
If the printer's outer case is dirty or dusty, turn off the printer and clean it with a soft, clean cloth moistened with a mild detergent.
Caution: |
Never use alcohol or paint thinner to clean the printer cover; these chemicals can damage the components and the case. Be careful not to get water onto the printer mechanism or any electrical components. |
If paper-feeding problems occur when you are using the correct paper, the paper path rollers in the standard lower cassette or the optional 500-Sheet Paper Cassette Unit may be dirty.
The cleaning procedure for both the standard lower cassette and the optional 500-Sheet Paper Cassette Unit is the same. The illustrations below show the standard lower cassette.
Follow these steps to clean the paper path rollers:
Open the side cover of the standard lower cassette. |
Wipe the two paper path rollers gently with a clean moistened cloth. |
Caution: |
Be careful not to get water onto the printer mechanism or any electrical components. |
Close the side cover of the standard lower cassette. |
