Cleaning the Back of the Printer
Clean the dust from the air vents on the back. If dust enters from the air vents and gets on the ink

commercially available blower brush to remove  it so that you do not touch the ink sheet.
• Do not touch white parts of the cleaner as its performance may be affected.
• Only the cleaner supplied with this printer can be used.
Never use volatile solvents such as benzine, paint thinner, or diluted neutral solvent. They may cause 
deformation or peeling of the printers casing.
