Cleaning the printer

Clean the outside of the printer with a clean, damp cloth when necessary.

CAUTION	Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the printer.

During the printing process, media, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. To correct and prevent these types of problems, you can clean the print cartridge area and the printer media path.

Cleaning the print cartridge area

You do not need to clean the print cartridge area often. However, cleaning this area can improve the quality of your printed sheets.

1Unplug the power cord, and wait for the printer to cool.

2Open the print cartridge door, and remove the print cartridge.

CAUTION	To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover the print cartridge if necessary.
	Also, do not touch the black sponge transfer roller inside the printer. By doing so, you can damage
	the printer.
