Cleaning the Printer

Removing spilled toner

If toner spills inside the printer, do not use the printer until you remove all the spilled toner. Follow these steps:

1.If only a small amount of toner is present, carefully wipe out the inside of the printer with a damp cloth.

2.If a large amount of toner is present, use a small vacuum cleaner (available from computer supply stores) to remove it.

Toner or any other fine powder can damage some vacuum cleaners. Be sure to read the instructions for your vacuum cleaner before you use it on spilled toner.

When you clean the paper input path, be careful not to touch the transfer charger wire with the vacuum cleaner.

Note: If you spill toner on your clothing, rinse it off with cold water. Do not use hot water; it may cause the toner to leave a permanent stain.
