How often should the printer be cleaned and how do I clean it??
Every day printers
Cleaning
an every day office type printer usually just entails a good solid wipe
down. The real trick is to not damage the printer by using cleaning
items that are meant for other cleaning activities. Cleaning chemicals
to avoid include alcohol or more harsh cleaning agents. These chemicals
can damage electrical areas and do more harm than good. Try and stay
with light cleaning supplies like baby wipes or a damp non shedding
towel. In either case, do not let water get into contact with the
inside of the printer whether it is an Epson printer, canon printer or
any other.
Cleaning the printer
The very first thing to do is unplug the printer. Make sure that all lights are out and that the plug is away from the unit.
Open the front of the printer, with a damp non-shedding cloth give a
light wipe down looking for dust build up or paper shards. If the paper
has been appearing with black marks on the back, look inside the
printer and wipe excess ink away. Make sure to wipe this area again so
that there is no remaining moisture.
A clean printer cartridge is
also a must clean area. Remove each cartridge and gently wipe excess
ink away. Be sure not to leave any fibrous material around exit ports.
The paper receiver basket may need to be removed and check underneath
for dust and paper shards around the legs. A proper printer cleaning
also means wiping down the basket with a mild detergent.
If the
printer has not been used for some time a head cleaning will be needed.
For a complete printer cleaning in this instance go to the control
panel and printers. Here the unit will be able to run diagnostic
programs and get the printer heads up.
