7 Maintaining Your Printer

General care and cleaning

CAUTION:
Always disconnect the power to the printer before cleaning it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the printer or any of its parts.

  • To clean the printer, wipe the outside with a clean, dry cloth.

  • Keep the surrounding area vacuumed and litter-free.

  • Protect the printer from tobacco smoke, dust, sand, other small particles (such as crumbs), and liquid spills.

  • Do not place objects on the printer.

  • Keep the printer supplies away from direct sunlight and out of high-temperature environments.

  • Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to come into contact with the painted surface of the printer.

  • If the printer has been exposed to bad weather or has water inside it, turn it off and let it dry completely. If this does not solve the problem, contact Kodak Service & Support.

Cleaning the scanner glass

For good quality copies and scans, ensure the printer's scanner glass and lid backing are clean; dust the exterior as needed.

CAUTION:
Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride on the glass, as these chemicals may damage it. Do not pour or spray liquid directly on the glass; the liquid might seep under the glass and damage the printer.

To clean the scanner glass:

  1. Unplug the printer and raise the scanner lid.  



  2. Wipe the glass with a soft cloth or sponge, slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner.

  3. Dry the glass with a lint-free cloth.

  4. When finished cleaning, plug in the printer.

Cleaning inside the scanner lid

Minor debris can accumulate on the white document backing located under the scanner lid.

CAUTION:
Do not use paper-based wipes, as they can scratch the underside of the scanner lid. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the printer or any of its parts.

To clean the white document backing under the scanner lid:

  1. Unplug the printer and raise the scanner lid.



  2. Gently clean the underside of the lid with a soft cloth or sponge, slightly moistened with a mild soap and warm water.

  3. Dry the underside with a chamois or soft cloth.

  4. If the white document backing needs further cleaning, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol on a soft cloth, then wipe thoroughly with a cloth damped with water to remove any residual alcohol.

  5. When finished cleaning, plug in the printer.
