About your guides
Cleaning the printer

Always unplug the printer power cord before
you clean the printer.
If you mistakenly switch the printer
on while cleaning it, you could
touch moving components inside
the printer and suffer injury.
Maintaining the printer

The printer contains high voltage
components which could cause a
