Cleaning the printer

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Your printer has a cleaning mode that can correct and prevent these types of problems.

Cleaning the outside of the printer

Clean the cabinet of the printer with a soft, lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the printer.

Caution

If your machine or its surrounding is contaminated with toner, we recommend you to use a cloth or tissue dampened with water to clean it. Toner blown into the air by a vacuum cleaner maybe harmful.

Caution

Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

Cleaning the inside of the printer

There are two methods to clean the inside of the printer:

•Clean the inside manually.

•Print a cleaning sheet, which can be done from the control panel.

Cleaning the inside of the printer manually

1Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer to cool down.

2Open the front cover and pull the print cartridge out. Set it on a clean flat surface.

Cautions

• To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.

•Do not touch the green surface underside of the print cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

3With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the print cartridge area and the print cartridge cavity.

Caution

While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller, located underneath the print cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print scan quality problems.
