Cleaning Methods for Printers
Before cleaning a printer you should turn it off and unplug it to prevent injury from high voltage.
Use a damp cloth to remove debris such as, dirt, paper dust, and spilled ink on the exterior of the device.
Using the correct type of paper insures a longer life for your printer and it will print more effectively.
