Always turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning or maintenance. Accidentally leaving
the printer on poses a risk of injury if you touch moving parts inside the printer.
•
Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If these substances come into contact
with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
•
If the Ejection Guide is dirty, it may soil the edge of the paper when the paper is cut. We recommend clean-
ing the Ejection Guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with paper dust.
