Note: Both cleaners are sold separately. Cleaning the Outside of the Case Do not pour liquid cleaners directly on the printer case. Instead, dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with a quality cleaner and clean the exterior surfaces with this cloth. Do not use solvent solutions. Inspect the DC power jack, all cables, and the remote terminal holder or vehicle dock for damage. 20 6822 Series 80-Column Printer User’s Manual Chapter 3 — Maintaining the Printer Cleaning the Inside the Case Let the printer cool before you clean the inside of the printer or you may burn your fingers.
