in the ribbon and to make sure the ribbon moves freely.

Cleaning the Printer

To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it

thoroughly several times a year. Follow these steps:

1. Turn off the printer and remove any paper as well as the

paper guide. If an optional cut-sheet feeder is installed,

remove it.

2. Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt

from the other case.

3. If the outer case and the paper guide are still dirty or dusty,

clean them with a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild

detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover closed to

prevent water from getting inside the printer.

Caution:

Never use alcohol or thinners to clean the printer;

these chemicals can damage the printer components

as well as the case.

Be careful not to get water on 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 oils can damage the printer mechanism.

Contact your EPSON dealer if you think lubrication is

needed.

Transporting the Printer

If you need to transport your printer some distance, carefully

repack it as described below, using the original box and

packing materials.

1. Turn off the printer and remove any paper loaded in the

printer.

2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet; then

disconnect the interface cable from the printer. If an

optional cut-sheet feeder is installed, remove it.

Warning:

If the printer has been used recently, the print head

may be hot. Let it cool before attempting to remove

the ribbon cartridge.

3. Remove the paper guide. Remove the ribbon cartridge as

described in steps 1 through 3 of “Replacing the Ribbon

Cartridge” earlier in this chapter. Then close the printer

cover.

4. Repack the printer, ribbon cartridge, paper guide, and power

cord in the original packing materials and place them in the

printer’s original box.
