| Home > Product Information # Cleaning the Printer To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it thoroughly several times a year. Follow these steps to clean your printer:
| Turn off the printer and remove any paper loaded in the printer as well as the paper guide.
| Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt from the outer case and paper guide.
| If the outer case or paper guide is still dirty or dusty, clean them with a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent dissolved in water. Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside the printer.
Caution:
Never use alcohols or thinners to clean the printer; these chemicals can damage the printer components as well as the case. Be careful not to get water onto the printer mechanism or electronic components. Do not use a hard or abrasive brush. Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants; unsuitable lubricants can damage the printer mechanism. Contact an EPSON dealer if you think lubrication is needed.
