Have you ever noticed white lines appearing on your printouts? That’s a telltale sign that your printer is in need of a good clean. We would always recommend checking manufacturer’s guidelines if you are planning a good thorough clean however there are a number of common tips, which will keep your printer in tip top condition on a daily basis;
Cleaning Outside your Printer
- Ensure printer is switched off before cleaning
- Use a moistened, lint free cloth to clean the outside of your machine – a solution of one part vinegar to one part water is a good cleaning solution but make sure you squeeze out any excess liquid before applying to the machine.
Cleaning the Printer
- Switch off and allow to cool before you begin.
- Remove internal paper trays
- Remove toner cartridge and place on a sheet of paper. Cover with a lint free cloth
- Clean inside the toner cavity with a dry, lint free cloth and a brush (if you’ve been provided with one)
- If you received a brush with your machine then gently dust the printer mirror also.
- Remove any paper scraps and dust
- Clean the rollers using the cloth again, but be careful not to touch the transfer (sponge) roller
