Printing a machine report

You can print a configuration page to view current printer settings, or to help troubleshoot printer problems.

(See "(WPS) button" on page 20.)

Cleaning a machine

If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty environment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep the the most optimum print quality.

•Cleaning the outside of the machine with cleaning materials

containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.

•If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend that you use a cloth or tissue dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful if inhaled.

Cleaning the outside

Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the machine.

Cleaning the inside

During the printing process, paper dust, toner, and dust particles in the air can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and reduces these problems.

•Storing the toner cartridge

•Tips for moving & storing your machine

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

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

•To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to

light for more than few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.

•Do not touch the green surface of the drum located in the toner cartridge or imaging unit. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

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

While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to damage the transfer roller or any other inside parts. Do not use solvents
