How should I maintain the printer?
Printer exterior cleaning:
Clean the printer exterior as follows:

Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord.
-
Remove the Paper Cassette from the printer.
-
Wipe the printer body with a soft cloth to remove dust. Dip the cloth in water and wring it out thoroughly for cleaning.
