Cleaning the 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 it in the best printing

condition and use your machine longer.

• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong substances can discolor or distort the

cabinet.

• If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend 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 to you.

• During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles 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.

4

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.

5

Cleaning the inside

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles 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.

• Use a dry lint-free cloth to clean the machine.

• If your machine has a power switch, turn the power switch off before cleaning the machine.

• Before opening the front cover, close the output support first.
