As a general rule, you will get the best results from your printer if you perform these quick cleaning procedures once a week or according to how much media you have used.

Feed rollers and paper guides
Clean the feed rollers and paper guides after every 80 E-size (34 x 44 in.) sheets of media (approximately 100 m/300 ft. of 36-inch wide roll media).
Note: If any paper is currently loaded, remove it and set
it aside.
- To open the top cover, lift the latch that is on the upper right side of the printer; then lift the cover.
- Moisten a lint-free cloth with 90% pure isopropyl alcohol (or use a pre-soaked alcohol cloth).
- Wipe each of the feed rollers. Using your hand, rotate each roller to clean its entire surface.
- Wipe each of the paper guides gently.
Caution: If you press too hard on the paper guides, they can become detached; to avoid this,
use your free hand to support the guide as you clean it with the other. If a guide dies
become detached, carefully snap it back into place.
Transport rollers
Clean the transport rollers after every 80 E-size (34 x 44 in.) sheets of media (approximately 100 m/300 ft. of 36-inch wide roll media) or if you observe vertical offset in your prints.

Drum
