Cleaning the Printer

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

thoroughly several times a year. Follow these steps:

1. Remove any paper loaded in the printer and turn it off.

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

disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

3. Remove the paper guide. If a pull tractor or an optional cut-

sheet feeder is installed, remove it.

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

from the outer case and paper guide.

5. If the outer case or paper guide is still dirty, clean it with a

soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent dissolved in

water. Keep the printer cover in place and lower it until it

lies flat on top of the printer to prevent water from getting

inside the printer.

Never use alcohols 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 lubricants can damage the printer

mechanism.

Transporting the Printer

If you need to transport your printer, carefully repack it using

the original box and packing materials, as described below.

You need to move the print head by hand to remove

the ribbon cartridge. If you have just used the printer,

the print head may be hot; let it cool for a few

minutes before touching it.

1. Remove any paper in the printer and turn it off.

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

disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

3. Attach the paper guide.

4. If a pull tractor is installed, remove it. If any options are

installed, remove them and pack them in their original

boxes.

5. Make sure that the print head is not hot. Then remove the

ribbon cartridge.

6. Make sure the tractor that came with your printer is

installed in the push position.

7. Repack the printer, ribbon cartridge, and paper guide in the

original packing materials and place them in the printer’s

original box.
