Cleaning Your Printer

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below, each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.

NOTE: Do not touch the transfer roller located under the toner cartridge when cleaning inside the printer. Oil from your fingers may cause print quality problems.

CAUTION: Cleaning solvents that contain alcohol or other strong substances may discolor or crack the printer cabinet.

Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the printer cabinet with a soft, damp, and lint-free cloth. Do not let water drip onto the printer or inside the printer.

Cleaning the Interior

Paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer and cause print quality problems, such as smearing or toner specks. Clean inside the printer to prevent these problems.

1.Power the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait approximately 10 minutes for the printer to cool down.

2.Open the front cover.

3. Gently pull the toner cartridge out, being careful not to scratch against the printer, and lift it up and away from the printer. Set it on a clean flat surface.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes.

CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

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