Cleaning the Printer
To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year.
1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect the USB cable.
2. Remove all the paper, then use a soft brush to clean the
sheet feeder.
3. If the outer case or inside of the sheet feeder are dirty, clean
it with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Keep the
printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside.
