Depending on the media used, the printer may accumulate residues (media
dust, adhesives, etc.) as a by-product of normal
printing. To maintain the best printing quality, you should remove these residues by cleaning the printer
periodically. Regularly
clean the printhead and supply sensors once change a new media to keep the printer at the optimized performance and extend
printer life.
◼ For Disinfecting
Sanitize your printer to protect yourself and others and can help prevent the spread of viruses.
◼ Important
- Set the printer power switch to O (Off) prior to performing any cleaning or disinfecting tasks. Leave the power cord
connected to keep the printer grounded and to reduce the risk of electrostatic damage.
- Do not wear rings or other metallic objects while cleaning any interior area of the printer.
- Use only the cleaning agents recommended in this document. Use of other agents may damage the printer and void its
warranty.
- Do not spray or drip liquid cleaning solutions directly into the printer. Apply the solution on a clean lint-free cloth and then
apply the dampened cloth to the printer.
- Do not use canned air in the interior of the printer as it can blow dust and debris onto sensors and other critical
components.
- Only use a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle and hose that are conductive and grounded to drain off static build up.
- All reference in these procedures for use of isopropyl alcohol requires that a 99% or greater isopropyl alcohol content be
used to reduce the risk of moisture corrosion to the printhead.
- Do not touch printhead by hand. If you touch it careless, please use 99% Isopropyl alcohol to clean it.
