    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.
    „Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller (Roller Cleaning)
    Clean the paper feed roller if paper is not fed properly. Cleaning the paper feed roller will wear 
    the roller, so perform this only when necessary.

    Tray.

    The paper that is loaded in the printer will feed through the printer and be ejected.
    Caution
    zDo not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning so as not to scratch the surface. 
    Paper tissue powders or fine threads may remain inside the printer and cause problems such as Print 
    Head blockage and poor printing results. Make sure to use a soft cloth.
    zNever use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean 
    the printer, as this may cause a malfunction or damage the printer’s surface.
    Caution
    zBe sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power plug before cleaning the printer.

    Print Results Not Satisfactory
    If the print result is not satisfactory such as white streaks, misaligned lines, and uneven colors, 
    confirm the paper and print quality settings first.
    zCheck 1: Do the page size and media type settings match the size and 
    type of the loaded paper?
    When these settings are incorrect, you cannot obtain a proper print result. If you are printing a 
    photograph or an illustration, incorrect paper type setting may reduce the quality of printout color. 
    Also, if you print with an incorrect paper type setting, the printed surface may be scratched. In 
    borderless printing, uneven coloring may occur depending on the combination of the paper type 
    setting and the loaded paper.
    zCheck 2: Did you set the print quality setting appropriately?
    Select a print quality option suitable to the paper and image for printing. If you notice blurs or 
    uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try printing again.
    Confirm the paper and print quality settings by using the printer driver.
    Refer to the PC Printing Guide on-screen manual.
    zCheck 3: If the problem is not resolved, there may be other causes.
