maintaining the printer body

Because the printer ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will eventually appear on the printer case and adjacent surfaces. To remove smudges, stains, and/or dried ink from the exterior of the printer, use a soft cloth moistened with water.

When cleaning your printer, keep these tips in mind:

  • Do not clean the interior of the printer. Keep all fluids away from the interior.
  • Do not use household cleaners or detergent. In the event that a household cleaner or detergent is used on the printer, wipe the printer's exterior surfaces with a soft cloth moistened with water.
  • Do not lubricate the support rod that the print cartridge cradle uses to slide back and forth. Noise is normal when the cradle moves back and forth.
