1. Cleaning the printer.

   The printer needs minimal cleaning only. If the printers outer case is dirty or dusty, turn off the printer and clean it with a soft, clean cloth moistened with a mild detergent.

   
   

   Caution:
   Never use alcohol or paint thinner to clean the printer cover. These chemicals can damage the components and the case. Be careful not to get water into the printer mechanism or any electrical components.
