To keep your printer operating at its best, clean it thoroughly several times a year as follows.

Turn off the printer and unplug the printer's power cord.

Remove any paper from the paper feeder.

Use a soft brush to carefully clean away all dust and dirt from the paper feeder.

If the outer case or the inside of the paper feeder is dirty, wipe it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the front cover closed to prevent water from getting inside.

Caution:

Never use alcohol or thinner to clean the printer, as 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.
