Cleaning the printer case

If the printer's outer case is dirty or dusty, turn off the printer and clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent.

Caution:

Never use alcohol or thinner to clean the printer cover; these chemicals can damage the imaging cartridge, its components and the printer case. Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or any electronic components.
