Xerox 6180 User Guide

This section describes how to clean the printer in order to maintain it in good condition and 
print clean printouts all the time.

Be sure to turn off and unplug the printer before accessing the interior of the printer 

for cleaning, maintenance, or fault clearance. Access to a live printer’s interior can cause 
electric shock.

Clean the exterior of the printer about once a month. Wipe the parts with a wet but well-wrung 
soft cloth. Then wipe with another dry soft cloth. For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of 
neutral detergent, and gently wipe the stain off.

Do not spray the detergent directly on the printer. The liquid detergent may enter the 

printer through a gap and cause problems. Never use cleaning agents other than water or 
neutral detergent.

After clearing paper jams or replacing the print cartridge, inspect the inside of the printer 
before closing the printer covers.

Never touch a labeled area found on or near the heat roller in the fuser. You can get 

burned. If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, do not try to remove it by yourself 
to avoid injuries or burns. Switch off the printer immediately. Refer to the Xerox Support 
website,
