Cleaning the Printer
This section explains how to clean the printer.
Precautions When Cleaning the Printer
• Do not use chemical cleaners or organic solvents, such as thinner or benzine. If such substances get
inside the printer or melt plastic parts, a failure might occur.
• Do not clean parts other than those explicitly specified in this manual. Other parts should only be
cleaned by your service representative.
When cleaning the printer, wipe the printer with a soft, dry cloth. If this does not remove the dirt, wipe
the printer with a damp and tightly wrung cloth. If a damp cloth still does not remove the dirt, try using a
mild detergent. Wipe the printer with a dry cloth to remove the moisture after using a damp cloth.
Cleaning the Paper Tray, Friction Pad, and the Paper Feed Roller
If the paper tray, friction pad, or paper feed roller is dirty, a multi-feed or misfeed might occur. Clean
these parts by following the cleaning procedure for Tray 1 described below. The cleaning procedure is
the same for the optional paper feed unit.
1. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord.
2. Pull out the plug from the socket. Remove all the cables from the printer.
