Cleaning the Drum

If there are streaks or spots on your print, the Organic Photo Conductor (OPC) drum of the toner cartridge may require cleaning.

1.Before setting the cleaning procedure, make sure that paper is loaded in the paper tray.

2.Press <Menu> on the operator panel until "Maintenance" appears on the top line of the display.

The first available menu item, "Clean Drum", displays on the bottom line.

3. Press <Select> twice.

The display confirms your selection.

The multi-function printer prints out a cleaning page. Toner particles on the drum surface are affixed to the paper.

4. If the problem remains, repeat steps 1 through 3 until toner particles are not affixed to the paper.

Printing When Toner is Low

When the toner cartridge is nearly empty, the multi-function printer saves the incoming faxes in the memory without printing them. If you want to print the fax when toner is low, you can set the multi-function printer to continue printing even though the print quality is not as good.

1.Press <Menu> until "Fax Feature" appears on the display.

2.Press the scroll button ( or ) until "Ignore Toner" appears on the bottom line and press <Select>.

3.Press the Scroll button ( or ) to select "On" or "Off".

Select "On" to continue printing the incoming faxes in the toner low status.

Select "Off" to stop printing when the toner cartridge is nearly empty. This is the default setting.

4. Press <Select> to save the selection.
