THE
PRINTER
:
1. Remove any paper in the printer and paper trays. Press the Eject button to
eject any paper that has been fed into the printer.
2. Turn off the printer. Then unplug the power cord and disconnect it from the
RIP.
3. Use a soft brush to carefully clean away all dust and dirt.
4. If the outer case or the inside of the paper trays are dirty, clean them with a
soft, clean cloth dampened with mild detergent.
Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside.
5. If the inside of the printer accidentally gets soiled with ink, wipe it off with a
damp cloth.
