Cleaning Your Printer
This section describes the cleaning procedure that is needed to maintain your printer.
Wiping Off Dirt on the Printer
Be sure to use a soft cloth such as eyeglasses cleaning cloth and wipe off dirt on the surface
with it gently. Smooth out wrinkles on the cloth if necessary before cleaning.

The paper that is loaded in the printer will feed through the printer and be ejected.
