How to Clean the Printer?

Because the ink jet printer is assembled by many precision parts, so you need to be extra careful when cleaning to avoid damaging these parts. The following content describes the correct method of cleaning the printer. 

How to Clean the Inside of the Printer?

Before cleaning the digital printer, you must turn off the power of the printer and make sure it is in a power-off state. Otherwise, you may encounter accidents when cleaning the printer, such as electric shock.

Ink Cartridge Gasket

The printer is generally equipped with ink cartridge gasket, which is used to absorb the printer ink or toner dropped from the paper roller. Users can take it out of the thermal printer and clean it up. 

Paper Roller

The paper roller is the transport part of the laser printer. Its function is to transport the paper to the inside of the printer. In this process, the stains and dust on the paper will stick to the paper roller. If the paper roller is not cleaned for a long time, it will be stuck. The user can remove the paper roller from the bluetooth printer and clean the stains with alcohol and towel. 

Air Vent

Similar to computers, many printers are equipped with fans inside to cool the machine. After the portable printer is used for a period of time, a lot of dust will be attached to the surface of the fan and vent inside the printer. If the dust is not cleaned up in time, the temperature inside the printer will be too high, resulting in the decline of the efficiency of the printer. 

If you want to clean the inside of the automatic printer, do not use a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner will completely damage the printer. It is recommended to use the automatic cleaning function of the printer. After starting this function, the printer will automatically clean its interior. If you feel that this function can not thoroughly clean up the dust inside the printer, you can ask a professional to help you clean up.

How to Clean the Outside of the Printer?

Cleaning the outside of the document printer is more convenient and simple than cleaning the inside. Users just need to use a special cleaner and towel to wipe the outside surface of the printer. This cleaner reduces static electricity and protects the plastic case. It should be noted that when cleaning the external surface of the printer, do not let the cleaner flow into the inside of the printer, so as to avoid short circuit. 

When cleaning ink stains on the shell of multifunctional printer, you can use cotton cloth and a small amount of alcohol or water to wipe the stains. After cleaning, dry the printer with dry paper towel or towel in time to avoid water flowing into the printer and causing damage. 

It should be noted that when cleaning different printers, different methods and techniques need to be used to prevent unnecessary trouble in the cleaning process. You can check the product manual of the printer and find some useful tips on it.
