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 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.

Cleaning the Scanner Glass

To keep your scanner operating at its best, you should clean it periodically (every three months).
Follow these steps to clean your printer:
Caution:
Be careful not to injure your hand on parts inside the printer.
Do not press the glass surface of the scanner with any force.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the glass surface of the scanner, and do not use a hard or abrasive brush to clean it. A damaged glass surface can decrease the scan quality.
Do not touch the clear sheet inside the printer.
Never use alcohol, thinner, or corrosive solvent to clean the scanner. These chemicals can damage the scanner components.
Be careful not to spill liquid into the scanner mechanism or electronic components. This could permanently damage the mechanism and circuitry.
Do not spray lubricants inside the scanner.
Turn off the printer and remove any paper loaded in the printer.
Use a soft dry lint-free cloth to carefully wipe away all dirt from the surface of the glass.
