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

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 toner cartridge out. Set it on a clean flat surface.

Cautions

• To prevent damage to the toner 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 toner 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 toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

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