Important notes about cleaning

❑

Use isopropyl alcohol to clean your printer. It can be purchased at your local pharmacy. You

can also use cleaning wipes that are pre-saturated with isopropyl alcohol (Tektronix order
number 006-7824-00).

❑

90% isopropyl alcohol is recommended. If you use alcohol that is less than 90% pure, allow

extra time for the paper-feed, paper-pick and exit rollers to dry.

❑

Before cleaning any part except the paper-pick rollers: Dampen a lint-free wipe with isopropyl

alcohol.

A plastic bottle for isopropyl alcohol
