#Cleaning Inside the Printer

1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the screen has turned off, and then unplug the power cable from the outlet.
2. Leave the printer for a minute.
3. Open the printer cover and use a soft, clean cloth to carefully clean away any dust or dirt inside the printer.
4. Thoroughly wipe the area shown in blue in the illustration below. To avoid spreading the dirt, wipe from the top to the bottom. If the printer is particularly dirty, dampen the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the printer's surface.  Then, dry off the inside of the printer with a dry, soft cloth.
